The switch was installed on a wired network in a hospital and is monitored by the facilities department via a cloud application. The security administrator isolated the switch on a separate VLAN and set up a patch routine. Which of the following steps should also be taken to harden the smart switch? a) Set up an air gap for the switch.  b) Change the default password for the switch.  c) Place the switch In a Faraday cage.  d) Install a cable lock on the switch 13) Which of the following describes the BEST approach for deploying application patches? a) Apply the patches to systems in a testing environment then to systems in a staging environment, and finally to production systems.  b) Test the patches in a staging environment, develop against them in the development environment, and then apply them to the production systems  c) Test the patches m a test environment apply them to the production systems and then apply them to a staging environment  d) Apply the patches to the production systems apply them in a staging environment, and then test all of them in a testing environment 14) A security engineer needs to enhance MFA access to sensitive areas in a building. A key card and fingerprint scan are already in use. Which of the following would add another factor of authentication? a) Hard token  b) Retina scan  c) SMS text  d) Keypad PIN 15) A symmetric encryption algorithm is BEST suited for: a) key-exchange scalability.  b) protecting large amounts of data.  c) providing hashing capabilities d) implementing non-repudiation. 16) A company has limited storage available and online presence that cannot for more than four hours.
