Applying an air filtration mask is essential for personal safety but does not relate to data handling regulations. Ensuring only necessary services are running on the system might improve security, but it is not a direct compliance requirement. Encrypting all sensitive data on the workstation is the best action to ensure compliance with government regulations for data protection, as most government regulations require encryption of sensitive data to prevent unauthorized access in the event of a data breach. Lastly, creating a strong password policy is important for security but does not directly relate to compliance with regulations specific to data handling practices.

The command netstat -b is used to display all active connections and listening ports along with the executable involved in creating each connection. This option provides detailed information that can be used for monitoring and troubleshooting network issues. By contrast, -a shows all active connections and listening ports without the executable information, -o displays active connections with their process IDs but without the executable name, and -r shows the routing table rather than specific connection details.

WiFi Protected Access 2 is the best option in the list. MAC3 and SHA256 are not wireless security protocols. WEP is a wireless security protocol but can easily be broken using modern attacks and should not be used.

The application requires a 64-bit operating system to function, meaning it cannot run on a 32-bit version of Windows due to architectural differences in the operating systems. Installing a 32-bit application on a 64-bit OS is commonly possible due to backward compatibility features, but the reverse is not viable. Thus, the systems running a 32-bit version of Windows would need to be upgraded to a 64-bit version of Windows to run the application.

Some malware, known as Rogue antivirus or Rogue security software, will pretend to be antivirus software in an attempt to trick users into paying a fee to remove malware. Most likely it will just install more malicious software or do nothing (after charging the user of course).

The most common reason for a device to connect to Wi-Fi but not have Internet access is due to issues with DHCP. This could be because the device did not obtain an IP address correctly, or the DHCP server is not functioning properly. Checking the DHCP settings and ensuring the device is properly receiving an IP address is a critical step in diagnosing connectivity issues. SSID mismatch refers to the device trying to connect to the wrong network, which would prevent connection entirely. If the subnet mask is incorrect, the device might still get access to the local network but have issues reaching other networks, though it's a less likely scenario. Incorrect WPA2 key would prevent the device from connecting to the Wi-Fi network in the first place, not from accessing the Internet after connecting to the Wi-Fi.

A server lock can be used to lock away sensitive servers and network devices. Typically this comes in the form of a server rack with a locking door. This is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized physical access to servers if they are in a shared datacenter or location where unauthorized users could have access.

The correct answer involves understanding the difference between personal use licenses and corporate use licenses. Personal use licenses are typically meant for non-commercial, individual use and do not extend to business or enterprise environments. Therefore, even if an employee has a personal license for a software, it cannot be legally used for corporate purposes without obtaining the appropriate corporate license. The other options attempt to sidestep proper licensing protocols, which could lead to legal issues and non-compliance with software licensing agreements.

Application spoofing is a type of attack where a malicious app disguises itself as a legitimate app, often to gain access to sensitive information or to trick users into installing malware. This can be done by using a similar icon, name, or description to a legitimate app, making it difficult for users to distinguish between the two. Understanding what application spoofing is, is crucial in troubleshooting mobile OS and application security issues.

Malware infections often manifest as performance issues and the appearance of unwanted pop-ups or advertisements. The pop-ups are often disguised as legitimate programs or warnings to trick users.

Secure Shell (SSH) is the correct response as it provides a secure channel over an unsecured network, allowing a user to log into another computer over a network, execute commands in a remote machine, and move files from one machine to another. It ensures secure data communication and remote command-line, login, and remote command execution. VPN could potentially allow access to the isolated VLAN if it's configured correctly, but it's more about providing access to the network, not managing devices, and it wouldn’t be a direct access method. RMM is designed for managing systems but lacking direct, low-level access to a network device. The use of RDP and other remote desktop tools is not standard for network device management and would not be applicable for a core switch. VNC operates similarly to RDP and is also not intended for low-level network device management.

Correctly addressing a customer by their preferred name or title is crucial for demonstrating respect and cultural sensitivity. Asking for the correct pronunciation and using it shows that you value their identity. This approach fosters a positive interaction and avoids the potential for misunderstandings or disrespect.

Certificates are used in HTTPS and many other protocols to certify the authenticity of a server (or both the server and client in some cases) and when encrypting data.

Performing regular backup testing is important to verify that the recovery procedure is functional and the data integrity is maintained. This ensures that in the event of data loss, corruption, or a disaster scenario, the organization is capable of performing a successful data recovery. Regular testing helps identify issues with the backup configuration or procedure that might prevent data restoration. It also familiarizes the IT staff with the restoration process, which effectively reduces the downtime during an actual recovery operation. The other options are misleading: backup testing is not directly related to license management, backup volume, or bandwidth optimization.

User Account Control (UAC) is a feature in Windows 7, 8 and 10 that prompts users to confirm changes initiated by software. Until the changes are confirmed by UAC the change will not be made. This helps users understand when they are making system level changes like installing a new application. Sudo is a similar feature in Linux operating systems. NTFS is a file system and Windows Defender is an anti-malware application.
