200-201 Question 85
Select 3An organization is facing challenges in detecting advanced threats across its infrastructure, which includes on-premise hosts, network devices, and cloud services. Which of the following factors could contribute to these challenges related to data visibility?
- A
Limited integration between on-premise and cloud monitoring tools
- B
Encrypted network traffic preventing deep packet inspection
- C
Lack of endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions on hosts
- D
Availability of centralized logging for all systems and services
- E
Cloud service providers offering detailed visibility into their underlying infrastructure
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C
Explanation
Challenges to data visibility in detection arise from factors such as limited integration between monitoring tools, encrypted network traffic, and insufficient host-level monitoring. These issues prevent cybersecurity teams from obtaining comprehensive insights into potential threats across network, host, and cloud environments, which are critical for effective detection and response.
- A. Correct.
Limited integration between on-premise and cloud monitoring tools can create silos in data visibility, making it harder to detect threats spanning multiple environments.
- B. Correct.
Encrypted network traffic can hinder deep packet inspection and limit the ability to analyze traffic for malicious activity.
- C. Correct.
Lack of endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions on hosts reduces the ability to monitor and respond to threats at the host level.
- D. Incorrect.
The availability of centralized logging actually improves visibility, making it easier to correlate events across systems, so it is not a factor contributing to the challenge.
- E. Incorrect.
While cloud service providers may offer some visibility into their infrastructure, they often operate under a shared responsibility model and do not provide detailed access to underlying infrastructure, but this is not a challenge as described in the scenario.
