Question #: 36
Topic #: 8
[All PCCET Questions]

Under which category does an application that is approved by the IT department, such as Office 365, fall?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Attack communication traffic is usually hidden with various techniques and

tools, including:

Encryption with SSL, SSH (Secure Shell), or some other custom or proprietary encryption

Circumvention via proxies, remote access tools, or tunneling. In some instances, use of

cellular networks enables complete circumvention of the target network for attack C2 traffic.

Port evasion using network anonymizers or port hopping to traverse over any available open

ports

Fast Flux (or Dynamic DNS) to proxy through multiple infected endpoints or multiple,

ever-changing C2 servers to reroute traffic and make determination of the true destination

or attack source difficult

DNS tunneling is used for C2 communications and data infiltration

Definitely leaning towards sanctioned. I recall that prohibited means it's not allowed at all, which doesn't fit Office 365.

I'm a bit confused; could it also be tolerated? I feel like I need to double-check the definitions.

I remember a practice question about application categories, and I think sanctioned was the right term for approved software.

I think an approved application like Office 365 would be considered sanctioned, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm not too sure about this one. The question mentions IPv4 addresses and MAC addresses, so maybe the ifconfig command could be the answer? I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

I'm leaning towards a doughnut chart for this. It could show the breakdown of customer visits by population size or density, which seems relevant to the analysis they want to do.

I practiced a question about NGFW modes last week, and I believe Tap mode doesn't actually block flows; it just monitors them.

D) sanctioned, no doubt. If the IT department approves it, that's the definition of a sanctioned application. Honestly, this question is a gimme.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be C) tolerated, depending on the organization's policies.

I'm gonna go with C) tolerated. The IT department may not be thrilled about it, but they're probably too busy dealing with the 'unsanctioned' apps to really care about Office 365.

Haha, I bet the IT guys wish they could just 'tolerate' us using Office 365. As if they have a choice, it's a sanctioned app for sure!

Definitely D) sanctioned. Office 365 is a productivity suite approved by the IT department, not some shady app we're hiding from them.

I agree with Billy, because if it's approved by the IT department, it must be sanctioned.
