WGU C795 Cybersecurity Management II – Tactical with complete solution 1. As an IT security professional, you have just been hired by a multisite automotive dealership to protect and manage its com... puter network. What is your first task in establishing a secure defense system for the company?This task contains the radio buttons and checkboxes for options. The shortcut keys to perform this task are A to H and alt+1 to alt+9. A Hire a system security vendor. B Perform a full vulnerability assessment. C Perform an asset inventory and classification audit. D Document all users on the corporate domain.: Answer C is correct. A security administrator has to have a complete inventory of systems and equip- ment connected to the corporate network. Once this information is complete and accurate, a security professional can begin mapping vulnerabilities to the known systems. 2. Which characteristic most accurately describes a zero-day exploit vulner- ability?This task contains the radio buttons and checkboxes for options. The shortcut keys to perform this task are A to H and alt+1 to alt+9. A It is only known to hackers and a few security professionals. B It is only known to the hacker. C It was a major concern in the late 1990s, but current technology has elimi- nated them. D It is widely known, but ineffective and only used occasionally.: Explanation: Answer B is correct. A zero-day exploit is a flaw in an operating system or program code that is discovered by a threat actor with the intention of exploiting the vulnerability before authors of the code can patch or rewrite the code to eliminate the vulnerability. 3. CVE: MITRE Corporation 4. National Vulnerability Database (NVD): National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Computer Security Division, these days the NVD is brought to you by your friends at the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber- security Division. According to them 5. Which organizations provide vulnerability-mapping services, tools, or re- sources that can be accessed for free?This task contains the radio buttons and checkboxes for options. The shortcut keys to perform this task are A to H and alt+1 to alt+9. A AARP B OWASP C NIST D ACLU E MITRE: Explanation: Answers B, C, and E are correct. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), National Institute of Stan- dards and Technology (NIST), and MITRE Corporation all provide free vulnerabil- ity-mapping services, tools, or resources. 6. One of the main purposes of a cybersecurity professional is to help a company establish its security requirements. Which critical components of an application risk assessment accomplish this objective? Select all that apply.This task contains the radio buttons and checkboxes for options. The shortcut keys to perform this task are A to H and alt+1 to alt+9. A Understanding the application type B Determining the users C Establishing the criticality to business D Setting the application life-cycle E Classifying the information processed: Explanation: Answers A, C, and E are correct. Defining the security requirements of a risk assessment can involve multiple key factors that should be incorporated early in the planning and development phases. The security requirements do not include defining users or application lifespan. 7. cloud/software as a service (SaaS) applications.: Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications. Applications developed by vendors and installed on the orga- nization's information systems. These applications are usually purchased outright by organizations with usage based on licensing agreements. Cloud/SaaS applications.

Talia researched moving part of her com- pany's data and infrastructure to a cloud-based service. She evaluated risks associated with cloud services and has established a list of risks. Which risk is NOT associated with cloud or SaaS services?This task contains the radio buttons and checkboxes for options. The shortcut keys to perform this task are A to H and alt+1 to alt+9. A Limited storage scalability B Misaligned cybersecurity standards with the vendor C Legal or regulatory restrictions imposed on the company but not the vendor D Lack of control over a vendor's cybersecurity policies E Data storage confidentiality: Explanation: Answer A is correct. Limited storage capability is not a risk in cloud-based services. One of the strong arguments for online storage is the ability to scale to needs easily and economi- cally. [Show More]
