GIAC GSEC Exam - Topic 7 Question 26 Discussion

Actual exam question for GIAC's GSEC exam
Question #: 26
Topic #: 7
[All GSEC Questions]

Which of the following describes software technologies that improve portability, manageability, and compatibility of applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Application virtualization is an umbrella term that describes software technologies that improve portability, manageability, and compatibility of

applications by encapsulating them from the underlying operating system on which they are executed. A fully virtualized application is not

installed in the traditional sense, although it is still executed as if it is. The application is fooled at runtime into believing that it is directly

interfacing with the original operating system and all the resources managed by it, when in reality it is not. A guest Operating System

encapsulated within a virtual machine is not termed 'Operating System virtualization' but hardware virtualization, as it is the physical

hardware that is virtual.

Wait, are we sure it's not B? Group Policy does a lot too.

I thought it was A at first, but C makes more sense.

System registry and system control don't seem to match the question, but I'm a bit confused about the specifics of application virtualization.

I feel like I've seen a question similar to this in practice exams, and application virtualization was definitely the right choice there too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Group Policy being related to managing settings rather than portability.

I think the answer might be C, application virtualization, because it sounds like it fits the description of encapsulating applications from the OS.

This question covers a lot of ground, but I think if I tackle it step-by-step, I should be able to identify the true statements. Gotta stay focused!

Okay, I've got this. Measurement error is the difference between the observed/measured value and the true value. So the answer must be D, "True value".

This seems pretty straightforward. Alibaba Cloud provides comprehensive security protection, so I'm going to go with True.
