38 Susan's organization is updating its password policy and wants to use the strongest possible passwords. What password requirement will have the highest impact in preventing brute-force attacks?Change maximum age from 1 year to 180 days.Increase the minimum password length from 8 characters to 16 characters. Increase the password complexity so that at least three character classes (such as uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols) are required.Retain a password history of at least four passwords to prevent reuse.

41 After recent reports of undesired access to workstations after hours, Derek has been asked to find a way to ensure that maintenance staff cannot log in to workstations in business offices. The maintenance staff members do have systems in their break rooms and their offices for the organization, which they still need access to. What should Derek do to meet this need?Require multifactor authentication and only allow office staff to have multifactor tokens.Use rule-based access control to prevent logins after hours in the business area.Use role-based access control by setting up a group that contains all maintenance staff and then give that group rights to log into only the designated workstations.Use geofencing to only allow logins in maintenance areas.
42 Nick wants to do session management for his web application. Which of the following are common web application session management techniques or methods? (Select all that apply.)IP trackingCookiesURL rewritingTLS tokensFor questions 43–45, please use your knowledge of SAML integrations and security architecture design and refer to the following scenario and diagram:Alex is in charge of SAML integration with a major third-party partner that provides a variety of business productivity services for his organization.
43 Alex is concerned about eavesdropping on the SAML traffic and also wants to ensure that forged assertions will not be successful. What should he do to prevent these potential attacks?Use SAML's secure mode to provide secure authentication.Implement TLS using a strong cipher suite, which will protect against both types of attacks.Implement TLS using a strong cipher suite and use digital signatures.Implement TLS using a strong cipher suite and message hashing.
44 If Alex's organization is one that is primarily made up of off-site, traveling users, what availability risk does integration of critical business applications to on-site authentication create, and how could he solve it?Third-party integration may not be trustworthy; use SSL and digital signatures.If the home organization is offline, traveling users won't be able to access third-party applications; implement a hybrid cloud/local authentication system.Local users may not be properly redirected to the third-party services; implement a local gateway.Browsers may not properly redirect; use host files to ensure that issues with redirects are resolved.
45 What solution can best help address concerns about third parties that control SSO redirects as shown in step 2 in the diagram?An awareness campaign about trusted third partiesTLSHandling redirects at the local siteImplementing an IPS to capture SSO redirect attacks
46 Susan has been asked to recommend whether her organization should use a MAC scheme or a DAC scheme. If flexibility and scalability are important requirements for implementing access controls, which scheme should she recommend and why?MAC, because it provides greater scalability and flexibility because you can simply add more labels as neededDAC, because allowing individual administrators to make choices about the objects they control provides scalability and flexibilityMAC, because compartmentalization is well suited to flexibility and adding compartments will allow it to scale wellDAC, because a central decision process allows quick responses and will provide scalability by reducing the number of decisions required and flexibility by moving those decisions to a central authority
