Question 1 of 482

A security engineer is reviewing event logs because an employee successfully connected a personal Windows laptop to the corporate network, which is against company policy. Company policy allows all Windows 10 and 11 laptops to connect to the system as long as the MDM agent installed by IT is running. Only compliant devices can connect, and the logic in the system to evaluate compliant laptops is as follows:

Which of the following MOST likely occurred when the employee connected a personally owned Windows laptop and was allowed on the network?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

A Windows version below 10 follows the outer else branch of the compliance logic, which returns COMPLIANT without checking whether the MDM agent is installed or running. This allows a device that violates the policy requirement to be treated as compliant and admitted to the network. Because the system incorrectly permits a noncompliant device, the result is a false negative.

Question 2 of 482

An organization is working to secure its development process to ensure developers cannot deploy artifacts directly into the production environment. Which of the following security practice recommendations would be the best to accomplish this objective?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

Separation of duties divides development, approval, and production deployment responsibilities among different roles or teams. Policies and technical controls can prevent developers from having the permissions needed to deploy directly to production, requiring an authorized release or operations function instead. Least privilege supports this goal but is broader; separation of duties specifically prevents one person from both creating and releasing an artifact.

Question 3 of 482

A security architect discovers the following while reviewing code for a company's website: selection = "SELECT Item FROM Catalog WHERE ItemID = " & Request("ItemID")

Which of the following should the security architect recommend?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

Query parameterization separates SQL code from user-supplied input by sending the ItemID value as a typed parameter rather than concatenating it into the query string. This prevents an attacker from altering the SQL statement with injected operators or commands in the request value. Client-side processing and URL encoding do not protect the server-side database query, while escape-character blocking is incomplete and can be bypassed.

Question 4 of 482

A security architect needs to enable a container orchestrator for DevSecOps and SOAR initiatives. The engineer has discovered that several Ansible YAML files used for the automation of configuration management have the following content:

Exam CAS-005: Question 4 - Image 1

Which of the following should the engineer do to correct the security issues presented within this content?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

The ansible.cfg file contains an inappropriate inventory plugin setting for kubernetes.core.k8s, which is a Kubernetes resource-management module rather than a valid inventory configuration in this context. Updating the configuration to use only approved, required plugins, or removing the unnecessary file, prevents unsafe or unintended Ansible behavior. The localhost insecure bind address limits access to the local host, so changing it to the system hostname would increase exposure rather than correct the issue.

Question 5 of 482

A CRM company leverages a CSP PaaS service to host and publish Its SaaS product. Recently, a large customer requested that all infrastructure components must meet strict regulatory requirements, including configuration management, patch management, and life-cycle management. Which of the following organizations is responsible for ensuring those regulatory requirements are met?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

The CRM company is responsible for ensuring its SaaS product meets the customer’s regulatory requirements. Even when the product is hosted on a CSP PaaS platform, the SaaS provider remains accountable for the application, its configuration, compliance controls, and the lifecycle of components it manages. The CSP secures and operates the underlying PaaS infrastructure, but its services do not transfer the CRM company’s compliance obligation to either the customer or the regulator.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
