QUESTION 194
Results from a vulnerability analysis indicate that all enabled virtual terminals on a router can be accessed using the same password. The company’s network device security policy mandates that at least one virtual terminal have a different password than the other virtual terminals. Which of the following sets of commands would meet this requirement?

A.    line vty 0 6 P@s5W0Rd password line vty 7 Qwer++!Y password
B.    line console 0 password password line vty 0 4 password P@s5W0Rd
C.    line vty 0 3 password Qwer++!Y line vty 4 password P@s5W0Rd
D.    line vty 0 3 password Qwer++!Y line console 0 password P@s5W0Rd

Answer: C
Explanation:
The VTY lines are the Virtual Terminal lines of the router, used solely to control inbound Telnet connections. They are virtual, in the sense that they are a function of software – there is no hardware associated with them.
Two numbers follow the keyword VTY because there is more than one VTY line for router access. The default number of lines is five on many Cisco routers. Here, I’m configuring one password for all terminal (VTY) lines. I can specify the actual terminal or VTY line numbers as a range. The syntax that you’ll see most often, vty 0 4, covers all five terminal access lines.

D.    Routine log review

Answer: B
Explanation:
Clean Desk Policy Information on a desk–in terms of printouts, pads of note paper, sticky notes, and the like–can be easily seen by prying eyes and taken by thieving hands. To protect data and your business, encourage employees to maintain clean desks and to leave out only those papers that are relevant to the project they are working on at that moment. All sensitive information should be put away when the employee is away from their desk. This will mitigate the risk of data loss when applied.

QUESTION 197

A.    Fire- or water-proof safe.
B.    Department door locks.

D.    24-hour security guard.
E.    Locking cabinets and drawers.

Using a safe and locking cabinets to protect backup media, documentation, and any other physical artifacts that could do harm if they fell into the wrong hands would form part of keeping employees desks clean as in a clean desk policy.

B.    Data retention policy
C.    CCTV policy
D.    Clean desk policy

Answer: D
Explanation:

To protect data and your business, encourage employees to maintain clean desks and to leave out only those papers that are relevant to the project they are working on at that moment. All sensitive information should be put away when the employee is away from their desk.

QUESTION 199

A.    Train employees on correct data disposal techniques and enforce policies.
B.    Only allow employees to enter or leave through one door at specified times of the day.
C.    Only allow employees to go on break one at a time and post security guards 24/7 at each entrance.
D.    Train employees on risks associated with social engineering attacks and enforce policies.

Answer: D
Explanation:
Tailgating is the term used for someone being so close to you when you enter a building that they are able to come in right behind you without needing to use a key, a card, or any other security device. Many social engineering intruders needing physical access to a site will use this method of gaining entry. Educate users to beware of this and other social engineering ploys and prevent them from happening.

QUESTION 200
Which of the following is a security concern regarding users bringing personally-owned devices that they connect to the corporate network?

A.    Cross-platform compatibility issues between personal devices and server-based applications
B.    Lack of controls in place to ensure that the devices have the latest system patches and signature files
C.    Non-corporate devices are more difficult to locate when a user is terminated
D.    Non-purchased or leased equipment may cause failure during the audits of company-owned assets

Answer: B
Explanation:
With employees who want to bring their own devices you will have to make them understand why they cannot. You do not want them plugging in a flash drive, let alone a camera, smartphone, tablet computer, or other device, on which company fi les could get intermingled with personal files. Allowing this to happen can create situations where data can leave the building that shouldn’t as well as introduce malware to the system. Employees should not sync unauthorized smartphones to their work systems. Some smartphones use multiple wireless spectrums and unwittingly open up the possibility for an attacker in the parking lot to gain access through the phone to the internal network. Thus if you do not have controls in place then your network is definitely at risk.
