Question 1 of 58

A security administrator is creating an internet of things (IoT) Security policy and needs to select behaviors for the traffic.

Which characteristic has the greatest impact to the risk level of applications?

Correct answer: A

Applications used by malware have the greatest effect on risk because they are associated with malicious activity and can provide a direct channel for command-and-control, payload delivery, or data exfiltration. Selecting this behavior helps the IoT Security policy identify traffic with a strong security threat indicator. Characteristics such as being pervasive or tunneling other applications may increase exposure or inspection complexity, but malware use is the clearest indicator of immediate application risk.

Question 2 of 58

DNS rewrite can only be configured on a NAT rule with which type of destination address translation?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

Static IP destination address translation is required for DNS rewrite because the firewall must have a fixed, predictable translated address to insert into DNS responses. With static translation, the same public-to-private mapping is consistently available for the rewritten record. Dynamic translation types can select addresses from a pool or vary by session, so they do not provide a stable destination value suitable for DNS rewriting.

Question 3 of 58

Based on the image below, what is a risk associated with this configuration?

Show answer

Correct answer: A

Requiring TLS version 1.3 as the minimum protocol version can prevent older clients and legacy applications from establishing TLS sessions. Systems that support only TLS 1.2 or earlier fail the handshake because the decryption profile rejects protocols below the configured minimum. This creates an availability and compatibility risk even though TLS 1.3 provides stronger security.

Question 4 of 58

Which action ensures that sensitive information such as medical records, financial transactions, and legal communications are not decrypted and that they maintain strong security?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

A no-decrypt policy exempts traffic to specified sensitive URL categories from SSL/TLS decryption. This preserves confidentiality for regulated or highly private content, such as medical, financial, and legal communications, while allowing decryption to remain enabled for other traffic where inspection is appropriate. Disabling decryption globally removes protection and visibility for all encrypted traffic, whereas a targeted no-decrypt rule limits the exemption to the required categories.

Question 5 of 58

An alert indicates that multiple internal endpoints are communicating with a known malicious IP address, and the analyst needs to identify the scope of this activity by using Log Viewer.

What is the first step in identifying which internal hosts have communicated with the malicious IP address and determining the extent of the communication?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

Filtering Traffic logs by the malicious IP address first identifies every session involving that known indicator of compromise. The resulting log entries reveal the internal source addresses that communicated with it, along with destinations, ports, applications, timestamps, and bytes transferred. Filtering by internal endpoints would require those hosts to be known beforehand, while the malicious IP provides the common pivot needed to establish the activity’s scope.

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.
