A developer is coding the crypto routine of an application that will be installed on a standard headless and diskless server connected to a NAS housed in the datacenter. The developer has written the following six lines of code to add entropy to the routine:
1 - If VIDEO input exists, use video data for entropy 2 - If AUDIO input exists, use audio data for entropy 3 - If MOUSE input exists, use mouse data for entropy 4 - IF KEYBOARD input exists, use keyboard data for entropy 5 - IF IDE input exists, use IDE data for entropy 6 - IF NETWORK input exists, use network data for entropy
Which of the following lines of code will result in the STRONGEST seed when combined?
A. 2 and 1
B. 3 and 5
C. 5 and 2

Answer: D
Q262. - (Topic 4)
The organization has an IT driver on cloud computing to improve delivery times for IT solution provisioning. Separate to this initiative, a business case has been approved for replacing the existing banking platform for credit card processing with a newer offering. It is the security practitioner’s responsibility to evaluate whether the new credit card processing platform can be hosted within a cloud environment. Which of the following BEST balances the security risk and IT drivers for cloud computing?
A. A third-party cloud computing platform makes sense for new IT solutions. This should be endorsed going forward so as to align with the IT strategy. However, the security practitioner will need to ensure that the third-party cloud provider does regular penetration tests to ensure that all data is secure.
B. Using a third-party cloud computing environment should be endorsed going forward. This aligns with the organization’s strategic direction. It also helps to shift any risk and regulatory compliance concerns away from the company’s internal IT department. The next step will be to evaluate each of the cloud computing vendors, so that a vendor can then be selected for hosting the new credit card processing platform.
C. There may be regulatory restrictions with credit cards being processed out of country or processed by shared hosting providers. A private cloud within the company should be considered. An options paper should be created which outlines the risks, advantages, disadvantages of relevant choices and it should recommended a way forward.
D. Cloud computing should rarely be considered an option for any processes that need to be significantly secured. The security practitioner needs to convince the stakeholders that the new platform can only be delivered internally on physical infrastructure.
Answer: C

The consultant spent two weeks testing the application, and determines that no vulnerabilities are present. Based on the results of the tools and tests available, which of the following statements BEST reflects the security status of the application?
A. The company’s software lifecycle management improved the security of the application.
B. There are no vulnerabilities in the application.
C. The company should deploy a web application firewall to ensure extra security.

Answer: D
Q264. DRAG DROP - (Topic 2)
A manufacturer is planning to build a segregated network. There are requirements to segregate development and test infrastructure from production and the need to support multiple entry points into the network depending on the service being accessed. There are also strict rules in place to only permit user access from within the same zone. Currently, the following access requirements have been identified:
1. Developers have the ability to perform technical validation of development applications.
2. End users have the ability to access internal web applications.
3. Third-party vendors have the ability to support applications.
In order to meet segregation and access requirements, drag and drop the appropriate network zone that the user would be accessing and the access mechanism to meet the above criteria. Options may be used once or not at all. All placeholders must be filled.

An administrator is trying to categorize the security impact of a database server in the case of a security event. There are three databases on the server.
Current Financial Data = High level of damage if data is disclosed. Moderate damage if the system goes offline
Archived Financial Data = No need for the database to be online. Low damage for integrity loss
