Why is it critical to implement Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) on cloud management workstations?
Press to flip
EDR is critical to monitor and respond to attacks on cloud systems, enhancing the security posture.
Why are ICS/SCADA systems often air-gapped from the main network?
To provide isolation and enhance security for systems controlling critical industrial equipment.
What is the significance of regularly backing up data with a separate cloud provider?
Regular backups with a separate provider ensure data recovery in case of data loss or a primary cloud service failure.
What steps can be taken if a hardening guide is unavailable for an operating system?
Contact the manufacturer or explore online message boards for third-party security hardening guides.
What strong security practice should be applied when hardening servers?
Implement strong authentication processes and apply the least privilege access to ensure security.
What challenges exist with updating embedded systems in devices, and how should they be addressed?
Embedded systems are difficult to update, so it is crucial to install available security patches and consider network segmentation and firewall protection.
Discuss the importance of using the least privilege principle in cloud management workstation security.
Applying the least privilege principle ensures users have only the access necessary for their role, minimizing potential abuse.
What are the recommended practices to follow for maintaining security patches on IoT devices?
Prioritize installing security patches promptly and consider using network segmentation for added protection.
How does segmenting the network benefit IoT device security?
Network segmentation limits vulnerabilities by isolating IoT devices and minimizing potential data breaches.
What role do Mobile Device Management (MDM) tools play in mobile device hardening?
MDM tools monitor devices and push security updates to ensure mobile device security.
How can workstations be hardened to reduce vulnerability risks?
Periodically update workstations with bug fixes, security patches, and remove unused software.
Why is it necessary to harden the default configurations of operating systems?
Default configurations are not secure and require additional configurations to enhance security.
What security measures should be taken for network infrastructure like routers and switches?
Change default credentials, configure authentication, and install available patches provided by manufacturers.
Explain the concept of data segmentation on mobile devices.
Data segmentation involves separating company data from user data to limit access if one segment is compromised.
What is a key consideration when managing cloud systems related to access control?
Ensuring the implementation of strong access controls and maintaining least privilege access for efficient cloud management.
