Which of the following would be the BEST option to implement?

  • A. Distributed connection allocation
  • B. SD-WAN vertical heterogeneity
  • C. Local caching
  • D. Content delivery network

CDNs work by storing copies of content on servers that are located closer to the users who are requesting it, which can help to reduce latency and improve performance.


NEW QUESTION # 286
A company created an external application for its customers. A security researcher now reports that the application has a serious LDAP injection vulnerability that could be leveraged to bypass authentication and authorization.
Which of the following actions would BEST resolve the issue? (Choose two.)

  • B. Deploy a reverse proxy
  • C. Deploy a SIEM.
  • D. Conduct input sanitization.
  • E. Patch the OS
  • F. Deploy a WAF.
  • G. Use containers.

Answer: D,F

Explanation:
Conduct input sanitization - The only sure way to prevent SQL Injection attacks is input validation and parametrized queries including prepared statements. The application code should never use the input directly. The developer must sanitize all input, not only web form inputs such as login forms.
A WAF protects your web apps by filtering, monitoring, and blocking any malicious HTTP/S traffic traveling to the web application, and prevents any unauthorized data from leaving the app. It does this by adhering to a set of policies that help determine what traffic is malicious and what traffic is safe.

NEW QUESTION # 289
A junior developer is informed about the impact of new malware on an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) CPU, and the code must be fixed accordingly. Based on the debug, the malware is able to insert itself in another process memory location.
Which of the following technologies can the developer enable on the ARM architecture to prevent this type of malware?

  • A. No-execute
  • B. Execute never
  • C. Total memory encryption
  • D. Virtual memory encryption

Answer: B

Explanation:
XN is a security feature that is designed to prevent certain types of malware from executing in memory. When XN is enabled, the CPU will not execute code that is stored in memory regions that have been marked as XN. This can help to prevent malware from inserting itself into another process's memory location and executing from there.
No-execute (NX) is a similar security feature that is used to prevent certain types of malware from executing in memory. NX works by marking certain memory regions as non-executable, so that the CPU will not execute code from those regions.

Which of the following technologies would BEST meet this need?

  • A. WPA2 PSK
  • B. Faraday cage
  • C. WPA3 SAE
  • D. WEP 128 bit

Answer: C

WPA3 SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) is the best option for this scenario. WPA3 is the latest version of the Wi-Fi security standard, and it provides a more secure form of encryption than WPA2 PSK and WEP 128 bit. WPA3 SAE is designed to protect against brute-force attacks and is the most secure choice for this particular situation.
