Question 286

A security administrator recently reset local passwords and the following values were recorded in the system:

Which of the following in the security administrator most likely protecting against?

Correct Answer: C
The scenario shows MD5 hashed password values. The most likely reason the security administrator is focusing on these values is to protect against pass-the-hash attacks. In this type of attack, an attacker can use a captured hash to authenticate without needing to know the actual plaintext password. By managing and monitoring these hashes, the administrator can implement strategies to mitigate this type of threat.

Question 288

An end-of-service server cannot be patched, but it still performs as expected for business operations. The team moves the system to a segmented network. Which of the following control types has the team applied?

Correct Answer: D
This is a compensating control because the organization cannot apply the preferred control, which would be patching or replacing the end-of-service server. Instead, it uses network segmentation to reduce exposure and limit the risk. A compensating control is an alternative safeguard used when the primary security requirement cannot be implemented due to technical, operational, or business constraints. Moving the server to a segmented network does not fix the vulnerability itself, so it is not corrective. It may reduce attack paths, but the key issue is that it substitutes for the missing patching capability. A deterrent control discourages unwanted behavior, such as warning signs or legal notices. A preventive control directly blocks incidents, but here the more precise classification is compensating.

Correct Answer: B
insert code

Question 290

Which of the following is a technical security control?

Correct Answer: D
Firewalls are classic examples of technical controls as they use technology to restrict or permit network traffic based on security policies. Technical controls are implemented through hardware or software solutions.
Security guards (A) and fences (C) are physical controls, while policies (B) are administrative controls.
Technical controls like firewalls are fundamental in securing network perimeters and endpoints as covered in the Security Architecture domain#6:Chapter 3 CompTIA Security+ Study Guide#.
