[All NS0-516 Questions]

A company is using the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) on all volume groups. However, one volume group failed a security audit.

In this scenario what would cause a volume group to fail the security audit?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

FIPS Compliance: The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) requires all components within a system to adhere to specific security standards.

FDE Drives: Full Disk Encryption (FDE) drives are used to ensure data security.

Audit Failure: Adding an FDE drive as a spare to a volume group without proper encryption settings could cause a security audit to fail.

Solution: Ensure all spare drives in a volume group meet the FIPS encryption requirements.

Disabling Data Assurance? That's a big no-no!

Not sure about C, Secure Erase should be fine if done correctly.

The Secure Erase operation seems like it would be a good practice, but I wonder if it could actually lead to a failure in this context.

Connectivity to the key server being interrupted sounds like it could be a problem too, but I can't recall if that alone would cause a failure.

I think if Data Assurance is disabled, that could definitely lead to a security audit failure. I saw a similar question in our practice tests.

I remember something about FIPS compliance and how adding an FDE drive could potentially cause issues, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main reason for a failure.

The Secure Erase operation seems like it could potentially cause issues, but I'm not sure if that would be the sole reason for a FIPS failure. I'll make a note to research that scenario further.

I'm a bit confused by the Data Assurance option. Does that have a specific security implication in a FIPS environment? I'll need to review that one more closely.

Okay, I think I've got it. If the key server connection was interrupted, that would cause the FIPS compliance to fail, so I'm going with option D.

Hmm, the key server connectivity issue seems like the most likely culprit here. I'll focus on that option and make sure I understand the implications.

D) definitely. No key server, no security. Simple as that. Unless, of course, the key server was on a coffee break. Then all bets are off!

Hmm, I'm gonna have to go with D on this one. Can't have FIPS without that all-important key server!

I'd go with D as well. No key server connection means no way to verify the encryption, and that's a big no-no for FIPS compliance.

D) Connectivity to the key server was interrupted. That's the only one that would cause a security audit failure in this scenario. FIPS requires a secure key management system to be in place.

I disagree, I believe it was because the Secure Erase operation was applied to the volume group disks.

I think the volume group failed the security audit because Data Assurance was changed to 'disabled'.
