For a web application, configuring SAML authentication means:
Correct Answer: A
Question 62
Refer to the exhibit. An engineer must troubleshoot an incident by using Cisco Secure Cloud Analytics. What is the cause of the issue?
Correct Answer: B
The flow data in the exhibit shows multiple short-duration, high-volume HTTPS connections (443/TCP) from IP 10.10.10.10 to multiple destination IPs in the 50.10.10.0/24 network. All flows are 22 seconds long and transfer exactly 1.77M of data. This uniform behavior to a large set of IP addresses strongly indicates a Denial of Service (DoS) pattern, where an internal host (10.10.10.10) is overwhelming external systems in the 50.10.10.0/24 range. The SCAZT guide (Section 6: Threat Response, Pages 114-117) explains how Secure Cloud Analytics uses NetFlow and behavioral modeling to identify such volumetric threats. Key identifiers include: Same connection size (1.77M) Multiple unique peer IPs in a single external subnet Same destination port and protocol (HTTPS) Zero TCP connections completed, indicating unacknowledged connections This matches the behavioral pattern of a DoS originating from an internal host.

Question 63
Response automation in cybersecurity is primarily used for:
Correct Answer: C
Question 64
Open Telemetry is used for:
Correct Answer: A
Question 65
Which common strategy should be used to mitigate directory traversal attacks in a cloud environment?
Correct Answer: D
Directory traversal attacks exploit improper file path validations to access unauthorized directories and files. To prevent this, it is critical to restrict what areas of the file system an application or user can access. Limiting file system permissions prevents attackers from gaining access to sensitive areas even if a traversal vulnerability exists. As explained in SCAZT Section 4 (Application and Data Security, Pages 85-87), enforcing minimal privileges and file system segmentation is a key defense against such attacks.
