CompTIA SY0-701 Dumps Questions Answers

An air-gapped network is a network that is physically isolated from other networks, such as the internet, to prevent unauthorized access and data leakage. However, an air-gapped network can still be compromised by removable devices, such as USB drives, CDs, DVDs, or external hard drives, that are used to transfer data between the air-gapped network and other networks. Removable devices can carry malware, spyware, or other malicious code that can infect the air-gapped network or exfiltrate data from it. Therefore, removable devices are the most common data loss path for an air-gapped network. References: CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, Chapter 9: Network Security, page 449 1

FIM stands for File Integrity Monitoring, which is a method to secure data by detecting any changes or modifications to files, directories, or registry keys. FIM can help a security administrator track any unauthorized or malicious changes to the data, as well as verify the integrity and compliance of the data. FIM can also alert the administrator of any potential breaches or incidents involving the data.

Some of the benefits of FIM are:

It can prevent data tampering and corruption by verifying the checksums or hashes of the files.

It can identify the source and time of the changes by logging the user and system actions.

It can enforce security policies and standards by comparing the current state of the data with the baseline or expected state.

It can support forensic analysis and incident response by providing evidence and audit trails of the changes.

HTTP headers can be used to mitigate risks associated with Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). Security-related HTTP headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) and X-XSS-Protection can be configured to prevent the execution of malicious scripts in the context of a web page.

XSS (Cross-Site Scripting): A vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. HTTP headers like CSP help prevent XSS attacks by specifying which dynamic resources are allowed to load.

SQLi (SQL Injection): Typically mitigated by using parameterized queries and input validation, not HTTP headers.

DoS (Denial of Service): Mitigated by network and application-level defenses rather than HTTP headers.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): Refers to securing communications and is not directly mitigated by HTTP headers; rather, it's implemented using SSL/TLS protocols.
