[All SSCP Questions]

Organizations should consider which of the following first before allowing external access to their LANs via the Internet?

Aplan for implementing workstation locking mechanisms.

Bplan for protecting the modem pool.

Cplan for providing the user with his account usage information.

Dplan for considering proper authentication options.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Before a LAN is connected to the Internet, you need to determine what the access controls mechanisms are to be used, this would include how you are going to authenticate individuals that may access your network externally through access control.

The following answers are incorrect:

plan for implementing workstation locking mechanisms. This is incorrect because locking the workstations have no impact on the LAN or Internet access.

plan for protecting the modem pool. This is incorrect because protecting the modem pool has no impact on the LAN or Internet access, it just protects the modem.

plan for providing the user with his account usage information. This is incorrect because the question asks what should be done first. While important your primary concern should be focused on security.

A locking mechanism is good, but D should come first.

Wait, are we really trusting users with account info? Sounds risky.

I’m leaning towards proper authentication options being the priority. It seems crucial for securing access.

I feel like workstation locking mechanisms are important, but they might not be the first thing to consider for external access.

I remember a practice question that focused on securing the modem pool. Is that what we should prioritize first?

I think it might be about authentication options, but I'm not entirely sure. We did cover that in class.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The options seem to be describing different types of protection, but I'm not sure which one specifically refers to "Service Protection" in the Traps product. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm not sure about the "focus on negative issues" approach. That seems like it could put them on the defensive. I think the safest bet is to assume they have limited knowledge and walk them through the issue in a logical, structured way.

Hmm, this one seems straightforward. I think the answer is True since the question states the backup data is transferred to the VSA through the ESXi host.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. There are a lot of factors to consider when virtualizing runtime resources. I'll need to think through each of the options carefully before selecting my answer.
