These sample questions are simple and basic questions that represent likeness to the real CertNexus CSC-210 exam questions. To assess your readiness and performance with real time scenario based questions, we suggest you prepare with our Premium CertNexus CSC Certification Practice Exam. When you solve real time scenario based questions practically, you come across many difficulties that give you an opportunity to improve.
CertNexus CSC-210 Sample Questions:
01. Which element of the AAA model provides the record needed to reconstruct what an authenticated user did?
a) Authentication
b) Attestation
c) Accounting
d) Authorization
02. Why does a secure SDLC place security activities in the early phases rather than concentrating them before release?
a) A flaw rooted in the design costs less to correct before code and tests depend on it
b) Regulations generally require that security requirements be documented before development begins
c) Security activities performed early can replace the testing that would otherwise be needed before release
d) Design-phase reviews are performed by architects, whose findings carry more weight than a tester’s
03. What does naming a specific attacker profile add to an abuse case, compared with writing it against a generic attacker?
a) It limits the abuse case to techniques that the named profile has been observed using previously
b) It establishes the capability and motivation to assume, which determines whether a control is proportionate
c) It ensures the abuse case is written in the same format as the corresponding use case
d) It allows the abuse case to be assigned to whichever colleague is most familiar with that attacker type
04. After signing in, an application sends the user to an address taken from a parameter in the sign-in request. An attacker distributes a link that signs the user in and then sends them to a page the attacker controls, styled to look like the application.
What makes this technique effective against a cautious user?
a) The application transmits the parameter without any encryption, and the destination address can therefore be observed in transit
b) The attacker’s page is served from the very same domain as the application, and it quietly inherits the user’s existing session
c) The application does not require a second factor, and the attacker is therefore able to reuse whatever credentials were captured
d) The link begins at the genuine application, showing the user a trusted address before the redirection occurs
05. Two components must exchange data. They are operated by different organizations that have no shared secret and no prior arrangement for establishing one out of band.
Which characteristic of asymmetric cryptography makes it the appropriate starting point here?
a) Each party can publish a key that lets others protect data for it, without any secret being shared in advance
b) It provides integrity protection that symmetric cryptography cannot offer
c) It performs better than symmetric cryptography on large volumes of data
d) It removes the need to manage key lifetimes, since published keys do not expire
06. A developer adds a configuration switch that enables verbose diagnostic output. The switch is read from a settings file, and the settings file shipped with the application does not mention it.
Which default behavior should the developer implement when the switch is absent?
a) Read the switch from an environment variable instead, so the settings file cannot control it
b) Treat the absent switch as disabled, so a deployment that never sets it emits no diagnostic output
c) Treat the absent switch as enabled in a non-production deployment and disabled elsewhere
d) Treat the absent switch as enabled, so problems in a new deployment can be diagnosed without extra configuration
07. What distinguishes a zero-day weakness from other weaknesses a development team tracks?
a) It can be triggered without the attacker holding any valid account on the system
b) It affects every deployment of the component regardless of how the component is configured
c) No corrective update exists for it at the time it is being used against systems
d) It was introduced on the first day the affected component was released
08. An application sends the full account number to the browser and applies a mask in the page script, so only the last four digits appear on screen.
What is the most significant security consequence of implementing the mask this way?
a) The browser may cache the masked value and display it after the user signs out
b) The masking logic must be duplicated for every page that displays the account number
c) The mask fails whenever the page script is blocked or fails to load, which leaves the full account number visible on the screen
d) The full number is available to anyone who inspects the response, so the mask is presentation rather than protection
09. Two reviewers assess the same finding using a qualitative scale of low, medium, and high. One records it as medium and the other as high. Both are experienced and neither has misread the finding.
Which change most improves the consistency of future assessments?
a) Require that one named assessor perform all of the assessments, and the same judgment is then applied uniformly across every finding
b) Define each band with concrete criteria, so a given finding maps to the same band regardless of assessor
c) Add more bands to the scale, so that assessors have finer distinctions available to them
d) Move to a quantitative approach, since numbers are not subject to differing interpretation
10. Which term describes someone who probes a system without permission but reports what they find rather than exploiting it?
a) Red hat
b) White hat
c) Black hat
d) Gray hat
