Question #41
Which of the cloud deployment models is used by popular services such as iCloud, Dropbox, and OneDrive?
  1. A
    Hybrid
  2. B
    Public
  3. C
    Private
  4. D
    Community

B
Popular services such as iCloud, Dropbox, and OneDrive are all publicly available and are open to any user for free, with possible add-on services offered for a cost.

Question #42
Why does a Type 2 hypervisor typically offer less security control than a Type 1 hypervisor?
  1. A
    A Type 2 hypervisor runs on top of another operating system and is dependent on the security of the OS for its own security.
  2. B
    A Type 2 hypervisor allows users to directly perform some functions with their own access.
  3. C
    A Type 2 hypervisor is open source, so attackers can more easily find exploitable vulnerabilities with that access.
  4. D
    A Type 2 hypervisor is always exposed to the public Internet for federated identity access.

Correct Answer:
A
A Type 2 hypervisor differs from a Type 1 hypervisor in that it runs on top of another operating system rather than directly tied into the underlying hardware of the virtual host servers. With this type of implementation, additional security and architecture concerns come into play because the interaction between the operating system and the hypervisor becomes a critical link. The hypervisor no longer has direct interaction and control over the underlying hardware, which means that some performance will be lost due to the operating system in the middle needing its own resources, patching requirements, and operational oversight.

Question #43
Which is the appropriate phase of the cloud data lifecycle for determining the data's classification?
  1. A
    Create
  2. B
    Use
  3. C
    Share
  4. D
    Store

Correct Answer:
A
Any time data is created, modified, or imported, the classification needs to be evaluated and set from the earliest phase to ensure security is always properly maintained for the duration of its lifecycle.

Question #44
Which of the following is the optimal temperature for a data center, per the guidelines established by the America Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)?
  1. A
    69.8-86.0degF (21-30degC)
  2. B
    64.4-80.6degF(18-27degC)
  3. C
    51.8-66.2degF(11-19degC)
  4. D
    44.6-60-8degF(7-16degC)

Correct Answer:
B
The guidelines from ASHRAE establish 64.4-80.6degF (18-27degC) as the optimal temperature for a data center.

Question #45
Which of the following is not a risk management framework?
  1. A
    COBIT
  2. B
    Hex GBL
  3. C
    ISO 31000:2009
  4. D
    NIST SP 800-37

Correct Answer:
B
Hex GBL is a reference to a computer part in Terry Pratchett's fictional Discworld universe. The rest are not.

Question #46
Which of the following threat types involves the sending of untrusted data to a user's browser to be executed with their own credentials and access?
  1. A
    Missing function level access control
  2. B
    Cross-site scripting
  3. C
    Cross-site request forgery
  4. D
    Injection

Correct Answer:
B
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is an attack where a malicious actor is able to send untrusted data to a user's browser without going through any validation or sanitization processes, or where the code is not properly escaped from processing by the browser. The code is then executed on the user's browser with the user's own access and permissions, allowing an attacker to redirect their web traffic, steal data from their session, or potentially access information on the user's own computer that their browser has the ability to access.

Question #47
How is an object stored within an object storage system?
  1. A
    Key value
  2. B
    Database
  3. C
    LDAP
  4. D
    Tree structure

Correct Answer:
A
Object storage uses a flat structure with key values to store and access objects.

Question #48
Which of the following is NOT a regulatory system from the United States federal government?
  1. A
    PCI DSS
  2. B
    FISMA
  3. C
    SOX
  4. D
    HIPAA
