[All SY0-501 Questions]

SIMULATION -
You have just received some room and WiFi access control recommendations from a security consulting company. Click on each building to bring up available security controls. Please implement the following requirements:
The Chief Executive Officer's (CEO) office had multiple redundant security measures installed on the door to the office. Remove unnecessary redundancies to deploy three-factor authentication, while retaining the expensive iris render.
The Public Cafe has wireless available to customers. You need to secure the WAP with WPA and place a passphrase on the customer receipts.
In the Data Center you need to include authentication from the "something you know" category and take advantage of the existing smartcard reader on the door.
In the Help Desk Office, you need to require single factor authentication through the use of physical tokens given to guests by the receptionist.
The PII Office has redundant security measures in place. You need to eliminate the redundancy while maintaining three-factor authentication and retaining the more expensive controls.

Instructions: The original security controls for each office can be reset at any time by selecting the Reset button. Once you have met the above requirements for each office, select the Save button. When you have completed the entire simulation, please select the Done button to submit. Once the simulation is submitted, please select the Next button to continue.

"Place a passphrase on the customer receipts" ... is there any option for the public cafe that satisfies this requirement or is this just a requirement for which there is no available option (to confuse people)?

Hmm. I think rather than protect the receipts with a passphrase (didn't make sense), it means to put a passphrase (ie. PSK / pre-shared key) for the Wi-Fi so customers can use the Wi-Fi after they purchase something. Such ridiculous wording...

Make sure to select the 64-bit in the Help-Desk room. They are requesting PSK with WPA. if you select just PSK without 64-bit you are leaving in the air the this could be 128-bit, so it could be WPA2-AES 128bit...

No you don’t need to mention the bit. You would select a 64 or 128 if it would have been WEP. They are asking for WPA-PSK

If you dont select the bits you are just giving half answer. Why? because there are WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK so both can be Preshared-Key. The difference between them is WPA-PSK is 64 bit (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK is 128 bit (AES).

WPA-PSK - 128 bit With WPA-PSK protocol, data transmission is encrypted and controlled using an end user’s generated password. With a TKIP protocol, WPA-PSK uses 128-bit encryption. WPA-PSK can be used with the AES standard, which is a common standard in cybersecurity analysis. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/22921/wi-fi-protected-access-pre-shared-key-wpa-psk

You are right but if 256 was on the list you should. WPA-Personal: Also referred to as WPA-PSK (pre-shared key) mode, this is designed for home and small office networks and doesn't require an authentication server. Each wireless network device encrypts the network traffic by deriving its 128-bit encryption key from a 256-bit shared key. This key may be entered either as a string of 64 hexadecimal digits, or as a passphrase of 8 to 63 printable ASCII characters. If ASCII characters are used, the 256-bit key is calculated by applying the PBKDF2 key derivation function to the passphrase, using the SSID as the salt and 4096 iterations of HMAC-SHA1. WPA-Personal mode is available with both WPA and WPA2. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access)

CEO's office have 2 solutions I think one with Pin pad (something you know) or Username/password (something you know too)

Actually, i also thought like this at first but if you consider to "deploy" three-factor authentication, you need an iris scanner (iris - something you are), a smart card reader (smart card - something you have), and a pin pad (PIN - something you know). With deploying these technologies you are providing three-factor authentication actually.

Considering these security measures are for the door of the CEO's office you're more likely to enter a pin than a user name / password

Only question here can be what "something you know" to use in CEO office and can easily be solved by word "door" in the question. Use PIN instead of username/password....all rest are self explanatory and ALL answers are correct
