A network utilizes a network access control (NAC) solution to defend against malware.
When a wired or wireless host tries to connect to the network, a NAC agent on the host
checks it to make sure it has all of the latest operating system updates installed and that
the latest antivirus definitions have been applied.
What is this process called? - ANSWERPosture assessment
When a wired or wireless host tries to connect to a network, a NAC agent on the host
checks it to make sure it has all of the latest operating system updates installed and that
the latest antivirus definitions have been applied. This is called a posture assessment.
The agent then submits the results of the assessment as a Statement of Health (SoH)
to the system health validator (SHV).
If the host does not meet the client health requirements configured in the NAC system,
the host is placed on a quarantine network to be remediated.
Port security is configured on a switch to restrict connections to hosts with specific MAC
addresses.
AnswerWhen analyzing assets, which analysis method assigns financial values to
assets? - ANSWERQuantitative
Quantitative analysis assigns a financial value, or a real number (and the cost required
to recover from a loss) to each asset.
Qualitative analysis seeks to identify costs that cannot be concretely defined.
Transfer and acceptance are responses to risk, not risk analysis methods.
AnswerWhat is the main difference between vulnerability scanning and penetration
testing? - ANSWERVulnerability scanning is performed within the security perimeter;
penetration testing is performed outside of the security perimeter.
Penetration testing simulates an actual attack on the network and is conducted from
outside the organization's security perimeter. Vulnerability scanning is typically
performed internally by users with administrative access to the system.
The goal of both vulnerability scanning and penetration testing is to identify the
effectiveness of security measures and identify weaknesses that can be fixed. While
some penetration testing is performed with no knowledge of the network, penetration
testing could be performed by testers with detailed information about the systems. Both
vulnerability scanning and penetration testing can use similar tools, although you should
avoid illegal tools in both activities.
AnswerA security administrator is conducting a penetration test on a network. She
connects a notebook system running Linux to the wireless network and then uses Nmap
to probe various network hosts to see which operating system they are running.
Which process did the administrator use for the penetration test in this scenario? -
ANSWERActive fingerprinting
The administrator in this scenario used active fingerprinting. Active fingerprinting is a
form of system enumeration that is designed to gain as much information about a
