Study Notes

CompTIA CAS-004 Exam

  • This exam covers the CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) certification
  • The document is a demo version of questions and answers
  • The questions and answers are related to NIST best practices for BCP creation
  • The document also refers to cloud services and risk mitigation in a cloud environment
  • It emphasizes business impact analysis (BIA), a process to identify and evaluate the effect of various events on organizational operations
  • The document states that mitigating risks in the cloud environment might be different from traditional methods, implying that not all risks can be transferred to the cloud provider
  • Input sanitization can resolve LDAP injection vulnerabilities, which are a type of web application vulnerability
  • A web application firewall (WAF) can mitigate malicious LDAP queries in order to prevent LDAP injection vulnerabilities
  • A company's decision to move its retail sales system to a cloud service provider may result in issues with user latency and inventory load balancing
  • The most appropriate response would be implementing CDN, Database read replica, and Auto-scaling API servers to mitigate the noted problems
  • Security is enhanced by employing cameras, card readers, and authorized access to a secure storage room
