312-38 Exam Dumps : Certified Network Defender (CND)

Implementing access control mechanisms like a firewall is a preventive measure in network defense. The preventive approach focuses on establishing barriers and safeguards to stop security incidents before they occur. Firewalls are a core component of this strategy, as they control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules, thereby preventing unauthorized access to or from a network.

References: The Certified Network Defender (CND) program emphasizes a multi-layered defense strategy, which includes the Protect, Detect, Respond, and Predict framework. Within this framework, the Protect phase aligns with the preventive approach, as it involves the implementation of security measures that aim to prevent threats from compromising the network1. This is further supported by the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which outlines Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover as the five core functions for a comprehensive cybersecurity approach2.

 Adware is a type of software designed to throw advertisements up on your screen, most often within a web browser. This typically happens when a user installs a free application or software that includes adware in its installation package. In Riya’s case, the sudden influx of advertisements for clothes and watches similar to her recent purchases suggests that adware might have been installed on her device. This adware is likely tracking her browsing habits and displaying targeted ads based on her online shopping activity.

References: The explanation aligns with the objectives and documents of the Certified Network Defender (CND) course, which covers various types of malware, including adware, and their characteristics. For more detailed information, refer to the CND study guide and materials provided by the EC-Council on malware and its impact on network security.

A System Specific Security Policy (SSSP) is focused on the implementation and configuration of technology and the behavior of users interacting with that specific system. It provides detailed, targeted guidance on how systems should be configured and used securely. This type of policy is often more technical than other policies and includes requirements for system configuration, connections to other systems, and processing and handling of data. It also addresses user responsibilities and expected behavior when using the system.

References: The concept of a System Specific Security Policy is consistent with the EC-Council’s Certified Network Defender (CND) curriculum, which includes understanding and applying security policies that are specific to systems as part of a comprehensive network defense strategy123.
