DTabletop exercise

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The best way to prevent network printers from printing pages during a vulnerability scan is to create a tailored scan for the printer subnet that excludes the ports and services that trigger the printing behavior. The other options are not effective for this purpose: performing non-credentialed scans may not reduce the impact on the printers; ignoring embedded web server ports may not cover all the possible ports that cause printing; increasing the threshold length of the scan timeout may not prevent the printing from occurring.

According to the CompTIA CySA+ Study Guide: Exam CS0-003, 3rd Edition1, one of the objectives for the exam is to ''use appropriate tools and methods to manage, prioritize and respond to attacks and vulnerabilities''. The book also covers the usage and syntax of vulnerability scanning tools, such as Nessus, Nmap, and Qualys, in chapter 4. Specifically, it explains the meaning and function of each component in vulnerability scanning, such as credentialed vs. non-credentialed scans, port scanning, and scan scheduling1, pages 149-160. It also discusses the common issues and challenges of vulnerability scanning, such as network disruptions, false positives, and scan scope1, pages 161-162. Therefore, this is a reliable source to verify the answer to the question.

Agreed, root cause is key to preventing future issues!

Wait, do people really do tabletop exercises after? Seems odd.

Risk assessment is important too, but not the first step.

I think it's more about the incident response plan.

Definitely root cause analysis!

I feel like tabletop exercises are more for training rather than post-incident actions. So, I’m leaning towards root cause analysis as the best answer here.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think risk assessment was mentioned as a follow-up action. But I could be mixing it up.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about updating the incident response plan after an investigation. Maybe that's an option too?

I think after an incident, the analyst would probably focus on root cause analysis, right? That seems to be the logical next step.

I'm pretty confident B - root cause analysis is the correct answer here. That's the key step to take after investigating an incident, to identify the underlying issues and prevent similar incidents in the future.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is D - a tabletop exercise the right answer? That seems like it could be a good way to test the incident response plan after the fact. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Okay, let me think this through. After an incident, the next logical step would be to perform a root cause analysis to really understand what went wrong. That's why I'm leaning towards B as the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. Is it possible the answer could be A - risk assessment to evaluate the potential impact of the incident? Or maybe C - reviewing the incident response plan to see if any improvements are needed?

This seems like a straightforward question. I'd go with B - root cause analysis to determine what led to the incident and how to prevent it from happening again.

This seems pretty straightforward. I think the daily digest option is the best choice to give the business owner the visibility they need.

My strategy for this type of question is to carefully consider each option and eliminate the ones that don't make sense based on my understanding of the technology. I think the answer is source IP addresses.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different options and how they relate to evaluating network availability.

I'm not too familiar with the FIPS 199 formula, so this is a tough one for me. I'll have to guess and hope I can narrow it down based on the wording of the options.
