66 The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten is a list of web application security threats that is created by a member-driven OWASP committee of application development experts and published approximately every 24 months. The OWASP Top Ten list often includes “cross-site request forgery” (CSRF). A CSRF attack might be used for all the following malicious actions except _______________.The attacker could have the user log into one of the user’s online accounts.The attacker could collect the user’s online account login credentials, to be used by the attacker later.The attacker could have the user perform an action in one of the user’s online accounts.The attacker could trick the user into calling a fraudulent customer service number hosted by the attacker and talk the user into disclosing personal information.

The OWASP Top Ten list often includes “cross-site request forgery” (CSRF). Which of the following is a good way to deter CSRF attacks?Have your website refuse all HTTP resource requests.Ensure that all HTTP resource requests include a unique, unpredictable token.Don’t allow e-commerce on your website.Process all user requests with only one brand of browser, and refuse all resource requests from other browsers.

77 Encryption is an essential tool for affording security to cloud-based operations. While it is possible to encrypt every system, piece of data, and transaction that takes place on the cloud, why might that not be the optimum choice for an organization?Key length variances don’t provide any actual additional security.It would cause additional processing overhead and time delay.It might result in vendor lockout.The data subjects might be upset by this.
78 Encryption is an essential tool for affording security to cloud-based operations. While it is possible to encrypt every system, piece of data, and transaction that takes place on the cloud, why might that not be the optimum choice for an organization?It could increase the possibility of physical theft.Encryption won’t work throughout the environment.The protection might be disproportionate to the value of the asset(s).Users will be able to see everything within the organization.
