100-160 Exam Dumps : Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Cybersecurity

TheCCST Cybersecurity Study Guideexplains that aBYOD policy(Bring Your Own Device) should outline security requirements for personally owned devices connecting to the corporate network. Common requirements include:

Device encryptionfor stored sensitive corporate data.

Strong password or PINconfiguration for device access.

Restriction to secure and approved applicationsto reduce malware risk.

"BYOD policies typically mandate strong authentication, encryption of sensitive corporate data on personal devices, and installation of secure or approved applications. The goal is to protect corporate information while respecting personal ownership of the device."

(CCST Cybersecurity,Endpoint Security Concepts, BYOD Security section, Cisco Networking Academy)

Ais incorrect: BYOD policies do not require deletion of personal data unless wiping after separation.

Bis not a common requirement due to privacy and technical limitations.

E(upgrading data plans) is unrelated to security.

TheCCST Cybersecuritymaterial states that aVirtual Private Network (VPN)provides secure communication over an untrusted network, typically by ensuring:

Authentication→ verifying the identity of the user/device

Confidentiality→ encrypting the data so it cannot be read by unauthorized parties

Integrity→ ensuring that transmitted data has not been altered in transit

"VPNs secure remote access by authenticating users, encrypting data for confidentiality, and ensuring integrity through cryptographic checks."

(CCST Cybersecurity,Basic Network Security Concepts, VPNs section, Cisco Networking Academy)

Ais incorrect: WAN management is a network administration function, not a VPN feature.

Bis incorrect: Authorization is related but not a primary VPN security function.

Cis correct: Integrity is preserved through cryptographic hashing.

Dis correct: Authentication verifies user identity.

Eis correct: Confidentiality is provided via encryption.

Fis incorrect: Password management is separate from VPN functions.

TheCCST Cybersecuritycourse teaches that vulnerability scan results should be reviewed for misconfigurations and exposures that can be exploited by attackers.

"Disabled firewalls expose systems to direct network attacks and should be treated as critical findings. Open ports can indicate unnecessary or unsecured services running, which may provide entry points for attackers. These findings should be escalated for remediation or further security hardening."

(CCST Cybersecurity,Vulnerability Assessment and Risk Management, Analyzing and Responding to Scan Results section, Cisco Networking Academy)

Encrypted passwords (A)are good practice, not a vulnerability.

Disabled firewalls (B)leave systems defenseless against incoming attacks.

Open ports (C)can be exploited if the services they expose are vulnerable or misconfigured.

SSH packets (D)are normal in secure remote administration and are not inherently a vulnerability.
