Which of the following statements do not apply to a hot site?
Correct Answer: C
Remember this is a NOT question. Hot sites do not provide a false sense of security since they are the best disaster recovery alternate for backup site that you rent. A Cold, Warm, and Hot site is always a rental place in the context of the CBK. This is definivily the best choices out of the rental options that exists. It is fully configured and can be activated in a very short period of time. Cold and Warm sites, not hot sites, provide a false sense of security because you can never fully test your plan. In reality, using a cold site will most likely make effective recovery impossible or could lead to business closure if it takes more than two weeks for recovery.

Question 772
Which layer of the OSI model handles encryption?
Correct Answer: A
Question 773
What are the components of an object's sensitivity label?
Correct Answer: D
Both are the components of a sensitivity label. The following are incorrect: A Classification Set and a single Compartment. Is incorrect because the nomenclature "Classification Set" is incorrect, there only one classifcation and it is not a "single compartment" but a Compartment Set. A single classification and a single compartment. Is incorrect because while there only is one classifcation, it is not a "single compartment" but a Compartment Set. A Classification Set and user credentials. Is incorrect because the nomenclature "Classification Set" is incorrect, there only one classifcation and it is not "user credential" but a Compartment Set. The user would have their own sensitivity label.
Question 774
Which of the following type of traffic can easily be filtered with a stateful packet filter by enforcing the context or state of the request?
Correct Answer: B
The question is explict in asking *easily*. With TCP connection establishment there is a distinct state or sequence that can be expected. Consult the references for further details. ICMP, IP and UDP don't have any concept of a session; i.e. each packet or datagram is handled individually, with no reference to the contents of the previous one. With no sessions, these protocols usually cannot be filtered on the state of the session. Some newer firewalls, however, simulate the concept of state for these protocols, and filter out unexpected packets based upon normal usage. Although these are commonly treated like normal stateful filters, they are more complex to program, and hence more prone to errors. A stateful packet filter or stateful inspection inspects each packet and only allows known connection states through. So, if a SYN/ACK packet was recieved and there was not a prior SYN packet sent it would filter that packet and not let it in. The correct sequence of steps are known and if the sequence or state is incorrect then it is dropped. The incorrect answers are: ICMP. ICMP is basically stateless so you could not easily filter them based on the state or sequence. UDP. UDP has no real state so you could only partially filter them based on the state or sequence. The question was explicit in asking easily. While it is possible, UDP is not the best answer. IP. IP would refer to the Internet Protocol and as such is stateless so you would not be able to filter it out easily.

Question 775
Which of the following statements pertaining to link encryption is false?
Correct Answer: C
Section: Network and Telecommunications Explanation/Reference: When using link encryption, packets have to be decrypted at each hop and encrypted again. Information staying encrypted from one end of its journey to the other is a characteristic of end-to-end encryption, not link encryption. Link Encryption vs. End-to-End Encryption Link encryption encrypts the entire packet, including headers and trailers, and has to be decrypted at each hop. End-to-end encryption does not encrypt the IP Protocol headers, and therefore does not need to be decrypted at each hop.
