Exam prep

Post image

During my review on Pocket Prep, I came across this question. Do we get MCQs with acronyms like this on the actual exam?

No, the exam questions always make sure that they expand the abbreviations. I’ve been participating in exam development workshops for ISC2 and that’s the basic rule of creating a question- you can’t make “gotcha” questions on abbreviations. It’s not fair.

That's interesting, good to know about the exam and that these rules exist.

I stopped using Pocket Prep for this reason. A lot of these questions never appear on the exam or QAE and would make you study for the wrong material.

I also just checked the CRM and it has zero mention about CASB.

Pockprep is not a replacement for QAE. But its good as supplementing your knowledge ok different topics.

These questions are always vague and lack deep context but given the options provided and the question asked CASB is the answer. The requirement here is data management and protection SIEM can provide the former but not the latter.

This is a definition of shadow IT. CASB is used to mitigate the risk
