Which one of the following frameworks provides a mapping of cloud-specific security controls to security standards, best practices, and regulations? A. CCM B. CSF C. ISO 27001 D. ISO 3100 Correct Answer: A The Cloud Security Alliance's (CSA) Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) provides a mapping of cloud-specific security controls to security standards, best practices, and regulations. So, this is the correct answer. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and ISO 27001 are broad security frameworks that are not cloud-specific. So, these aren’t the correct answer. ISO 31000 is a risk management framework. So, this is also incorrect.   Interested in more practice test questions?   Get a copy of my official CertMike Practice Test books for the Security+ exam, CISSP exam, SSCP exam, or CySA+ exam and practice with hundreds of questions designed just like the real test! ...

He is planning to speak with some employees to gather evidence and suspects they may have been complicit in the breach. Which one of the following statements is incorrect about these conversations? A. Tom may not speak with employees without first advising them of their rights because he suspects they were involved in a security incident B. Interviews should be friendly and non-aggressive C. Tom may ask employees difficult questions during the interview D. Tom should consult Human Resources before speaking with employee who may have been involved in the incident Correct Answer:A One of the keys to answering this question is understanding the difference between interviews and interrogations. In an interview, Tom may ask difficult questions, but should do so in a non-confrontational manner. If Tom gets more aggressive, he crosses the line from interview to interrogation. Tom should always consult with Human Resources before involving employees in an investigation, but he does not need to advise employees of their rights because he is not a law enforcement officer. So, that is the correct answer to this question.   Interested in more practice test questions?   Get a copy of my official CertMike Practice Test books for the Security+ exam, CISSP exam, SSCP exam, or CySA+ exam and practice with hundreds of questions designed just like the real test! ...

Timestamp Correct Answer: A Think of NetFlow as similar to a telephone bill. You get a record of communications, but not the actual communications themselves. So, source address, destination address, and timestamp are included in those records and are not the correct answer to this question, where we’re looking for something that is NOT included in NetFlow logs. NetFlow records only contain summary information about network connections. They do not contain the actual content, or payload, from the connection. So, payload is the correct answer here.   Interested in more practice test questions?   Get a copy of my official CertMike Practice Test books for the Security+ exam, CISSP exam, SSCP exam, or CySA+ exam and practice with hundreds of questions designed just like the real test! ...
