Defense in depth requiresmultiple layers of security controls. None of the listed scenarios include layered controls, making “None” the correct answer.

Input validation ensures user inputs are sanitized and conform to expected formats, preventing injection attacks such as SQL injection and command injection.

The primary goal of Identity and Access Management (IAM) is to ensuresecure and controlled accessto organizational resources. IAM systems manage user identities, authenticate users, and authorize access based on roles, policies, and least privilege principles.

IAM does not guarantee complete protection against all threats, as no system can provide 100% security. It also does not eliminate authentication or focus on network performance monitoring. Instead, IAM ensures that theright usershave theright accessto theright resourcesat theright time.

Core IAM capabilities include identity provisioning, authentication, authorization, access reviews, and auditing. IAM is foundational to zero trust architectures and is emphasized by NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, and CIS as a critical security control for preventing unauthorized access and reducing insider threat risk.

The first step isisolation—disconnecting infected systems to prevent further spread. Restoring systems before containment risks reinfection. NIST SP 800-61 stresses containment before recovery.

AService Level Agreement (SLA)defines availability, performance, responsibilities, security controls, and incident response expectations between cloud providers and customers.

ATrojanis a direct form of malware that disguises itself as legitimate software to perform malicious actions.

An Incident Response Plan (IRP) defines how to detect, analyze, contain, eradicate, and recover from security incidents.

Symmetric encryption uses a single shared key for both encryption and decryption. This means that both the sender and receiver must securely possess the same key.

Symmetric algorithms are fast and efficient, making them ideal for encrypting large amounts of data. Common examples include AES and ChaCha20.

Asymmetric (public key) encryption uses two keys—public and private—and is slower. “TCB key” is not a recognized encryption type.

Because of key distribution challenges, symmetric encryption is often combined with asymmetric encryption for secure key exchange. This hybrid approach is used in protocols like TLS and is recommended by modern cryptographic standards.
