Practice Test 3
Results
Score: 73% / 66 of 90
Still hitting friction on these tests. Didnt feel the best today when taking this and I dont think that helped me.
I did very well on the General Security Concepts, an area I have studied very well for, so I believe that is a good sign of the effectiveness of the studying.
Pre Results Check In
Was estimating around 60%. Did not feel the best, but felt good on the questions I did study for.
Questions / Notes During Exam
What is Federation?
Federation is a framework that allows access to multiple applications or domains with a single set of credentials.
What is Zero-Day?
A zero-day is a security issue that is not known to the developer or vendor.
It is called zero-day because the developer has zero days to prepare a fix once the vulnerability is discovered.
What is CVE / CVSS?
CVE
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is a system that documents, catalogs, and identifies publicly known vulnerabilities in software and hardware.
CVSS
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a numeric system used to measure the severity of vulnerabilities.
What is TLS / SSL?
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
TLS is an encryption technology used to secure communication.
It is the technology that supports HTTPS but is not exclusively used with the web. TLS is a general encryption technology.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
SSL is the predecessor to TLS, serving the same function of securing communication.
What is IPSec?
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a set of communication rules and protocols for establishing secure connections over the internet.
What is RSA / AES?
RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman)
RSA is an asymmetric encryption algorithm, where different keys are used for encryption and decryption.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
AES is a symmetric encryption algorithm, where the same key is used for both encryption and decryption.
