Question 450

At Oceanview Payments, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting regulated payments and credentialed access: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?

  1. Tunnel events from both peers share an interpretable timestamp sequence.
  2. A packet inspection shows protected monitoring traffic and a v2c attempt is rejected.
  3. A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls.
  4. An impostor certificate fails the test and a valid management endpoint succeeds.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use SCP or SFTP to protected storage with least-privilege service credentials—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Oceanview Payments.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Tunnel events from both peers share an interpretable timestamp sequence. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Network devices have inconsistent local clock settings and VPN troubleshooting logs do not align, usually addressed by Configure reliable authenticated NTP sources and verify synchronization status. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Oceanview Payments was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls.

B:

A packet inspection shows protected monitoring traffic and a v2c attempt is rejected. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Monitoring credentials are sent in plaintext SNMPv2c strings across untrusted paths, usually addressed by Use SNMPv3 authPriv where supported and restrict manager addresses. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Oceanview Payments was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls.

D:

An impostor certificate fails the test and a valid management endpoint succeeds. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An automation client uses a certificate with the wrong server name yet ignores TLS errors, usually addressed by Validate peer certificate chains and hostnames for API and RESTCONF management calls. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Oceanview Payments was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls.

Question 451

A security engineer at Bluewater Technology reviews cloud applications and security services as part of a cross-team security policy review. The observed problem is: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. What is the BEST corrective action?

  1. Adopt authenticated, encrypted NETCONF or RESTCONF transport with role-specific permissions.
  2. Use SCP or SFTP to protected storage with least-privilege service credentials.
  3. Use protected syslog transport and authenticated collectors according to supported capabilities.
  4. Use SNMPv3 authPriv where supported and restrict manager addresses.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Use SCP or SFTP to protected storage with least-privilege service credentials. This directly addresses the documented failure: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. For the Bluewater Technology environment, the measurable success condition is: A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Adopt authenticated, encrypted NETCONF or RESTCONF transport with role-specific permissions. That action fits another problem: A network automation service modifies device configuration over an unauthenticated legacy protocol. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Bluewater Technology: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use SCP or SFTP to protected storage with least-privilege service credentials.

C:

Use protected syslog transport and authenticated collectors according to supported capabilities. That action fits another problem: A security appliance's syslog packets cross an untrusted segment without integrity or confidentiality controls. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Bluewater Technology: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use SCP or SFTP to protected storage with least-privilege service credentials.

D:

Use SNMPv3 authPriv where supported and restrict manager addresses. That action fits another problem: Monitoring credentials are sent in plaintext SNMPv2c strings across untrusted paths. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Bluewater Technology: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use SCP or SFTP to protected storage with least-privilege service credentials.

Question 452

During a cross-team security policy review at Bluewater Technology, engineers say that they resolved this finding: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?

  1. A packet inspection shows protected monitoring traffic and a v2c attempt is rejected.
  2. A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls.
  3. An authorized test changes only an approved configuration subtree and an untrusted client is denied.
  4. The collector receives trustworthy events while a forged or unprotected feed is rejected.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A backup transfer is encrypted and stored with access and integrity controls. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: Administrators transfer backups over unencrypted FTP to a shared server. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use SCP or SFTP to protected storage with least-privilege service credentials—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Bluewater Technology.

Question 453

At Ridgeview Finance, during an application modernization project, the security team is examining financial reporting and customer services. The finding is: A Cisco Secure Firewall access-control rule permits a risky application by port while its application detector identifies an unauthorized service. Which action BEST addresses this specific security issue?

  1. Apply supported file and malware policies to selected permitted traffic.
  2. Correct rule ordering and category criteria in the FTD access control policy.
  3. Use application visibility and control criteria in the FTD access control policy.
  4. Deploy the approved policy changes and validate device deployment status.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Use application visibility and control criteria in the FTD access control policy. This directly addresses the documented failure: A Cisco Secure Firewall access-control rule permits a risky application by port while its application detector identifies an unauthorized service. For the Ridgeview Finance environment, the measurable success condition is: The unauthorized application is denied and permitted services retain connectivity. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Apply supported file and malware policies to selected permitted traffic. That action fits another problem: Downloaded malicious objects pass a firewall policy because file and malware inspection is not enabled on the relevant flows. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Ridgeview Finance: A Cisco Secure Firewall access-control rule permits a risky application by port while its application detector identifies an unauthorized service. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use application visibility and control criteria in the FTD access control policy.

B:

Correct rule ordering and category criteria in the FTD access control policy. That action fits another problem: Users can browse prohibited categories because a broad allow rule precedes the URL-filtering rule. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Ridgeview Finance: A Cisco Secure Firewall access-control rule permits a risky application by port while its application detector identifies an unauthorized service. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use application visibility and control criteria in the FTD access control policy.

D:

Deploy the approved policy changes and validate device deployment status. That action fits another problem: New access-control rules are edited in management but never deployed to the active firewall. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Ridgeview Finance: A Cisco Secure Firewall access-control rule permits a risky application by port while its application detector identifies an unauthorized service. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use application visibility and control criteria in the FTD access control policy.

Question 454

At Ridgeview Finance, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting financial reporting and customer services: A Cisco Secure Firewall access-control rule permits a risky application by port while its application detector identifies an unauthorized service. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?

  1. Prohibited sites are denied and authorized business sites continue to work.
  2. Policy revision on the managed device matches the approved configuration.
  3. The unauthorized application is denied and permitted services retain connectivity.
  4. A benign file passes and a controlled malicious sample generates a block or detection event.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

The unauthorized application is denied and permitted services retain connectivity. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A Cisco Secure Firewall access-control rule permits a risky application by port while its application detector identifies an unauthorized service. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use application visibility and control criteria in the FTD access control policy—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Ridgeview Finance.

Incorrect Answers

A:
