    Which of the following used an entity-relationship model?

    • Database processing

    •  Database direction

    • Database implementation

    • Database design

    Correct Answer
    A. Database design
    Explanation
    Database design is the process of creating a detailed data model for a database system using an entity-relationship (ER) model. The ER model is a conceptual representation of the database that defines the entities (objects or concepts) and their relationships. It helps in organizing and structuring the data in a logical manner, ensuring data integrity and efficient data retrieval. Therefore, database design is the correct answer as it specifically utilizes the entity-relationship model.

    When SecureSphere identifies vulnerability, DBAs can use the Risk Management Workbench to:

    • Review the vulnerabilities

    • Manage the vulnerabilities

    • Virtually patch the vulnerabilities

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because the Risk Management Workbench in SecureSphere allows DBAs to review the vulnerabilities, manage them, and virtually patch them. This means that they can assess the vulnerabilities, take necessary actions to mitigate the risks associated with them, and apply virtual patches to temporarily fix the vulnerabilities until a permanent solution is implemented.

    To enable enterprises to effectively manage user access rights, SecureSphere:

    • Limits rights based on business need-to-know

    • Prevents excessive user rights

    • Disables dormant accounts

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    SecureSphere enables enterprises to effectively manage user access rights by implementing all of the mentioned measures. By limiting rights based on business need-to-know, it ensures that users only have access to the information and resources necessary for their job roles. By preventing excessive user rights, it avoids granting unnecessary privileges that could potentially be exploited. Disabling dormant accounts helps in removing access rights for users who are no longer active or have left the organization. Implementing all of these measures collectively ensures a robust and secure user access management system.

    Which of the following does a database security solution not monitor?

    • Database changes

    • Sensitive data access

    • Database complexity

    • Security events

    Correct Answer
    A. Database complexity
    Explanation
    A database security solution is designed to monitor and protect sensitive data access, database changes, and security events. However, it does not typically monitor database complexity. Database complexity refers to the structure and design of the database, including factors such as the number of tables, relationships between tables, and overall database architecture. While database complexity can indirectly impact security, it is not directly monitored by a typical database security solution.

    What does it mean for a user to access a database through a multi-tier infrastructure?

    • The user accesses the database through web or application servers

    • The user opens connections to multiple databases simultaneously

    • Each user connection to the database is layered to improve performance

    • Multiple levels of access to the database are available to the user

    Correct Answer
    A. The user accesses the database through web or application servers
    Explanation
    When a user accesses a database through a multi-tier infrastructure, it means that they are connecting to the database through web or application servers. This architecture allows for better scalability, flexibility, and security as the user interacts with the database indirectly through these servers. The servers handle the processing and communication between the user and the database, ensuring that the user's requests are properly executed and that the data is retrieved or updated as needed.

    What's the full form of CLR?

    • Common Language Runtime

    • Computing language Runtime

    • Conditional language Runtime

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Common Language Runtime
    Explanation
    The full form of CLR is Common Language Runtime. CLR is a component of the Microsoft .NET framework that manages the execution of .NET programs. It provides services such as memory management, garbage collection, security, and exception handling. CLR also enables interoperability between different programming languages by providing a common runtime environment.

    A non-dense index is a type of what?

    • Clustering index

    • Primary index

    •  secondary index

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Clustering index
    Explanation
    A non-dense index is a type of clustering index. A clustering index is a type of index that determines the physical order of the data in a table based on the values of one or more columns. In a non-dense index, not all records in the table are included in the index. Instead, only selected records are included, typically based on a specific criteria or range of values. This allows for efficient retrieval of data based on the clustered column(s).

    How does SecureSphere work with logs for auditing purposes?

    • Scans logs for particular users who are known to be security risks

    • Imperva SecureSphere does not rely on native database logs

    • Analyzes the log to discover databases

    • Analyzes the log to perform ongoing validation of user account settings

    Correct Answer
    A. Imperva SecureSphere does not rely on native database logs
  • 10. 

    ADA and COBOL are examples of what kind of programming language?

    • Referential language

    • Client language

    • Host language

    • None of thew above

    Correct Answer
    A. Host language
    Explanation
    ADA and COBOL are examples of host languages. Host languages are programming languages that are specifically designed to run on a particular computer system or platform. They are typically used for developing software that runs directly on the underlying hardware or operating system of the computer. ADA and COBOL were both developed for specific host systems and are commonly used in industries such as defense and finance, where reliability and compatibility with legacy systems are important.
