Tanya is working with the company's internal software development team. Before user of an application can access files located on the company's centralized server, the user must present a valid one time password, which is generated through a challenge/response mechanism. The company needs to tighten access control for these files and reduce the number of users who can access each and every file. The company is looking to Tanya and her team for solutions to better protect the data that has been classified and deemed critical to the companies missions. Tanya has also been asked to implement a single sign-on technology for all internal users, but she does not have the budget to implement a public key infrastructure.

Grace is a security administrator for a medical institution and is responsible for many different teams. One team has reported that when their main FDDI connection failed, three critical systems went offline even though the connection was supposed to provide redundancy. Grace has to also advise her team on the type of fiber that should be implemented for campus building-to-building connectivity. Since this is a medical training facility, many surgeries are video recorded and that data must continuously travel from one building to the next. One other thing that been reported to Grace is that periodic DOS attacks take place against specific servers within the internal network. The attacker sends excessive ICMP Echo Request packets to all the hosts on a specific subnet, which is aimed at one specific server. Which of the following is the best and most cost-effective countermeasure for Grace's team to put in place?

Tom's company has been experiencing many issues with an authorized sniffer is being installed on the network. one reason is because employees can plug the laptop smart phones and other mobile devices into the network any of which may be infected and have a running sniffer that the owner is not aware of. Implementing VPNs will not work because all of the network devices would need to be configured for specific VPNs and some devices, as in those switches, do not have this type of functionality available. Another issue Tom's team is dealing with is how to secure internal wireless traffic. Well the wireless access points can be configured with digital certificates for authentication, pushing out and maintaining certificates on each wireless user device is cost prohibitive and will place too much of a burden on the network team. Tom's boss has also told him that the company needs to move from a landline metropolitan area network solution to a wireless solution. Which of the following solutions is best to meet the companies need to protect wireless traffic?

Some feedback Steve received from the product testers is that it should implement address space layout randomization and data execution protection. Which of the following best describes Steve's confusion?

Evaluation,certification, and accreditation are carried out by different groups with different purposes.
