ISC2 SSCP Exam - Topic 10 Question 55 Discussion

Actual exam question for ISC2's SSCP exam
Question #: 55
Topic #: 10
[All SSCP Questions]

Virus scanning and content inspection of SMIME encrypted e-mail without doing any further processing is:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Content security measures presumes that the content is available in cleartext on the central mail server.

Encrypted emails have to be decrypted before it can be filtered (e.g. to detect viruses), so you need the decryption key on the central 'crypto mail server'.

There are several ways for such key management, e.g. by message or key recovery methods. However, that would certainly require further processing in order to achieve such goal.

I’m not sure about that, seems too complicated.

X509 Version 3 is a requirement, right?

Wait, can you really brute force SMIME? Sounds risky!

I agree, key recovery is a must for scanning.

Definitely not possible without the keys.

Brute force decryption sounds risky and time-consuming. I don't think that's a practical method for scanning emails, so I'm leaning towards option A as well.

I vaguely recall something about X509 certificates, but I can't remember if they specifically relate to virus scanning. Option C seems a bit off to me.

I remember studying that SMIME encryption makes it really hard to scan emails without decrypting them first. So, I think option A might be correct.

I feel like I came across a similar question about key recovery schemes in my practice tests. I think option B could be the answer, but I'm not entirely sure.

Ugh, I'm not totally sure about this one. The settings all sound kind of similar, but I think the key is to focus on the one that specifically mentions "events" and "EPM Server". Let me think this through step-by-step.

Ah, this is a good one! I remember discussing the importance of aligning total rewards with the company's vision and mission during our class discussions. I'm pretty sure the answer is True.

I remember drive0 being used in some examples, but I don't think it applies to USB transfers for this case.

If I recall correctly, A and D were mentioned quite often in practice questions, but I can't remember much about C.
