A .R.T.I.E. has an evolving need, which was amplified during the incidents. Their complex and dispersed IT environments have thousands of users, applications, and resources to manage. Dell found that the existing Identity and Access Management was limited in its ability to apply expanding IAM protection to applications beyond the core financial and human resource management application. A .R.T.I.E. also did not have many options for protecting their access especially in the cloud. A .R.T.I.E. were also not comfortable exposing their applications for remote access.
Dell recommended adopting robust IAM techniques like mapping out connections between privileged users and admin accounts, and the use multifactor authentication.
The Dell Services team suggest implementing a system that requires individuals to provide a PIN and biometric information to access their device.
Which type of multifactor authentication should be suggested?
The recommended multifactor authentication (MFA) type for A .R.T.I.E., as suggested by Dell Services, is A. Something you have and something you are. This type of MFA requires two distinct forms of identification: one that the user possesses (something you have) and one that is inherent to the user (something you are).
Something you have could be a physical token, a security key, or a mobile device that generates time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs).
Something you are refers to biometric identifiers, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans, which are unique to each individual.
By combining these two factors, the authentication process becomes significantly more secure than using any single factor alone. The physical token or device provides proof of possession, which is difficult for an attacker to replicate, especially without physical access. The biometric identifier ensures that even if the physical token is stolen, it cannot be used without the matching biometric input.
The use of MFA is supported by security best practices and standards, including those outlined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Dell's own security framework likely aligns with these standards, advocating for robust authentication mechanisms to protect against unauthorized access, especially in cloud environments where the attack surface is broader.
In the context of A .R.T.I.E.'s case, where employees access sensitive applications and data remotely, implementing MFA with these two factors will help mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and potential data breaches. It is a proactive step towards enhancing the organization's security posture in line with Dell's strategic advice.
A Zero Trust security strategy is defined by which of the primary approaches?
The cybersecurity team must create a resilient security plan to address threats. To accomplish this, the threat intelligence team performed a thorough analysis of the A .R.T.I.E. threat landscape. The result was a list of vulnerabilities such as social engineering, zero-day exploits, ransomware, phishing emails, outsourced infrastructure, and insider threats.
Using the information in the case study and the scenario for this question, which vulnerability type exposes the data and infrastructure of A.R.T.I.E .?
The security team recommends the use of User Entity and Behavior Analytics (UEBA) in order to monitor and detect unusual traffic patterns, unauthorized data access, and malicious activity of A .R.T.I.E. The monitored entities include A .R.T.I.E. processes, applications, and network devices Besides the use of UEBA, the security team suggests a customized and thorough implementation plan for the organization.
What are the key attributes that define UEBA?
An A .R.T.I.E. employee received an email with an invoice that looks official for $200 for a one-year subscription. It clearly states: "Please do not reply to this email," but provides a Help and Contact button along with a phone number.
What is the type of risk if the employee clicks the Help and Contact button?
