A recent audit discovered that multiple employees had been using their badges to walk through the secured data center to get to the employee break room. Most of the employees were given access during a previous project, but the access was not removed in a timely manner when the project was complete. Which of the following would reduce the likelihood of this scenario occurring again?
Implementing an automated quarterly attestation process ensures that access is reviewed and approved regularly. This prevents unauthorized or unnecessary access from persisting over time, aligning with CASP+ objective 1.6, which emphasizes continuous access control monitoring.
Which of the following is the best reason for obtaining file hashes from a confiscated laptop?
File hashing is used to create a digital fingerprint of files to detect unauthorized changes. By comparing the hash values before and after analysis, the integrity of the files can be validated. This aligns with CASP+ objective 5.2, which includes forensic evidence integrity and validation methods.
In support of disaster recovery objectives, a third party agreed to provide 99.999% uptime. Recently, a hardware failure impacted a firewall without service degradation. Which of the following resiliency concepts was most likely in place?
High availability ensures continuous operation despite hardware failures by leveraging redundant components like clustered firewalls or failover systems. This aligns with CASP+ objective 3.1, which focuses on implementing availability and redundancy mechanisms in disaster recovery planning.

An organization has deployed a cloud-based application that provides virtual event services globally to clients. During a typical event, thousands of users access various entry pages within a short period of time. The entry pages include sponsor-related content that is relatively static and is pulled from a database. When the first major event occurs, users report poor response time on the entry pages. Which of the following features is the most appropriate for the company to implement?
Caching is the most appropriate solution to improve response time for static content, such as sponsor-related data on the entry pages. Caching stores frequently accessed data closer to users, reducing the need to retrieve it from the database repeatedly. This results in faster load times, especially during high-traffic events. While scalability (horizontal or vertical) might address overall system performance, caching specifically targets improving the speed of accessing static content. CASP+ emphasizes caching as a performance optimization technique for handling high-demand, static web content.

A company reviews the regulatory requirements associated with a new product, and then company management elects to cancel production. Which of the following risk strategies is the company using in this scenario?
In this scenario, the company has elected to cancel the production of a product after reviewing regulatory requirements. This decision reflects a risk avoidance strategy, which involves taking action to eliminate exposure to a risk by not engaging in the activity that could lead to it. By canceling production, the company avoids the regulatory and compliance risks altogether. CASP+ defines risk avoidance as a risk management strategy that involves stopping or avoiding actions that expose the organization to unacceptable levels of risk.
