Question 80
At Brookside Manufacturing, the industrial security team is conducting a plant safety and IT security assessment under requirements for production continuity and controlled test windows. The team now needs objective retest evidence for: An employee directory exposes internal hostnames and direct-dial numbers through a public organizational chart. Which result BEST demonstrates successful remediation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Unauthenticated visitors see only approved business contact details and no internal device identifiers. The observable result demonstrates that the documented condition, An employee directory exposes internal hostnames and direct-dial numbers through a public organizational chart. has been addressed. The planned remediation is: Reduce unnecessary public directory fields and test disclosure with an anonymous browser session. This is a stronger validation than a saved ticket or unverified claim by Brookside Manufacturing.
Incorrect Answers
The resulting exposure inventory contains necessary organizational details without unnecessary employee personal information. That observation would verify another scenario: An audit team copies every employee profile from social media into its reconnaissance dossier although only external exposure of executive titles matters. The corrective step for that other scenario is: Limit public-profile collection to the authorized business objective and record the source and purpose of each retained data point. But Brookside Manufacturing is evaluating: An employee directory exposes internal hostnames and direct-dial numbers through a public organizational chart. The necessary outcome is: Unauthenticated visitors see only approved business contact details and no internal device identifiers.
The inventory labels expired or orphaned names appropriately and reports only validated, in-scope active systems. That observation would verify another scenario: A web assessment reports a certificate-transparency entry as a live, vulnerable application without validating the corresponding service. The corrective step for that other scenario is: Use certificate-transparency findings to identify candidate names and verify live scope and service availability separately. But Brookside Manufacturing is evaluating: An employee directory exposes internal hostnames and direct-dial numbers through a public organizational chart. The necessary outcome is: Unauthenticated visitors see only approved business contact details and no internal device identifiers.
Reviewers can reproduce the documented public observation window without using untraceable or altered screenshots. That observation would verify another scenario: An analyst collects live production screenshots for a report but does not record when the observed information appeared. The corrective step for that other scenario is: Record timestamps, retrieval source, context, and evidence hashes while excluding sensitive material from unnecessary distribution. But Brookside Manufacturing is evaluating: An employee directory exposes internal hostnames and direct-dial numbers through a public organizational chart. The necessary outcome is: Unauthenticated visitors see only approved business contact details and no internal device identifiers.
