CAS-005 Premium Exam Questions

RACI matrix(Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) is used for role mapping across the project lifecycle.

CMDB is a configuration inventory; ITIL is a framework. Recall trees are for disaster recovery/business continuity.

FromCAS-005, Domain 1: Security Governance and Compliance:

“The RACI matrix is essential in role assignment and accountability for software development and operational processes.”

To protect company information on stolen mobile devices, implementingremote wipe proceduresensures data can be erased if a device is suspected lost or stolen.Biometric access controlwith enforced timeouts further secures the device, requiring biometric authentication periodically, thus limiting unauthorized access even if the device is stolen. Geofencing and certificates provide additional security layers but are less immediate protections against information exposure after theft. Application control and side-loading prevention are important for malware threats but less so for stolen device scenarios.

The table shows that the user "SALES1" is consistently blocked despite having met the MFA requirements. The common factor in these blocked attempts is the source IP address (8.11.4.16) being identified as from Germany while the user is assigned to France. This discrepancy suggests that the network geolocation is being misidentified by the authentication server, causing legitimate access attempts to be blocked.

Why Network Geolocation Misidentification?

Geolocation Accuracy: Authentication systems often use IP geolocation to verify the location of access attempts. Incorrect geolocation data can lead to legitimate requests being denied if they appear to come from unexpected locations.

Security Policies: Company security policies might block access attempts from certain locations to prevent unauthorized access. If the geolocation is wrong, legitimate users can be inadvertently blocked.

Consistent Pattern: The user "SALES1" from the IP address 8.11.4.16 is always blocked, indicating a consistent issue with geolocation.

Other options do not align with the pattern observed:

A. Bypass MFA requirements: MFA is satisfied, so bypassing MFA is not the issue.

C. Administrator access policy: This is about user access, not specific administrator access.

D. OTP codes: The user has satisfied MFA, so OTP code configuration is not the issue.

Authenticated scans allow the scanner to verify installed patches and configurations, reducing false positives.

Other options:

A (CMDB updates) improve asset tracking but do not validate patch installations.

C (Advanced fingerprinting) improves accuracy but does not replace authentication.

D (Coordination with teams) is good practice but does not prevent false positives.
