NEW QUESTION 24
Which of these is not a benefit of dynamic secrets?

NEW QUESTION 25
Which of the following statements are true about Vault policies? Choose two correct answers.

The default policy can not be modified

You must use YAML to define policies

Policies provide a declarative way to grant or forbid access to certain paths and operations in Vault

Vault must be restarted in order for a policy change to take an effect

Policies deny by default (empty policy grants no permission)

Vault policies are written in HCL or JSON format and are attached to tokens or roles by name. Policies define the permissions and restrictions for accessing and performing operations on certain paths and secrets in Vault. Policies are deny by default, which means that an empty policy grants no permission in the system, and any request that is not explicitly allowed by a policy is implicitly denied1. Some of the features and benefits of Vault policies are:
Policies are path-based, which means that they match the request path to a set of rules that specify the allowed or denied capabilities, such as create, read, update, delete, list, sudo, etc2.
Policies are additive, which means that if a token or a role has multiple policies attached, the effective policy is the union of all the individual policies. The most permissive capability is granted if there is a conflict3.
Policies can use glob patterns, such as * and +, to match multiple paths or segments with a single rule. For example, path “secret/*” matches any path starting with secret/, and path “secret/+/config” matches any path with two segments after secret/ and ending with config4.
Policies can use templating to interpolate certain values into the rules, such as identity information, time, randomness, etc. For example, path “secret/{{identity.entity.id}}/*” matches any path starting with secret/ followed by the entity ID of the requester5.
Policies can be managed by using the vault policy commands or the sys/policy API endpoints. You can write, read, list, and delete policies by using these interfaces6.
The default policy is a built-in policy that is attached to all tokens by default and cannot be deleted. However, the default policy can be modified by using the vault policy write command or the sys/policy API endpoint. The default policy provides common permissions for tokens, such as renewing themselves, looking up their own information, creating and managing response-wrapping tokens, etc7.
You do not have to use YAML to define policies, as Vault supports both HCL and JSON formats. HCL is a human-friendly configuration language that is also JSON compatible, which means that JSON can be used as a valid input for policies as well8.
Vault does not need to be restarted in order for a policy change to take effect, as policies are stored and evaluated in memory. Any change to a policy is immediately reflected in the system, and any token or role that has that policy attached will be affected by the change.

NEW QUESTION 27
An organization wants to authenticate an AWS EC2 virtual machine with Vault to access a dynamic database secret. The only authentication method which they can use in this case is AWS.

True

False

NEW QUESTION 28
A web application uses Vault’s transit secrets engine to encrypt data in-transit. If an attacker intercepts the data in transit which of the following statements are true? Choose two correct answers.

You can rotate the encryption key so that the attacker won’t be able to decrypt the data

The keys can be rotated and min_decryption_version moved forward to ensure this data cannot be decrypted

The Vault administrator would need to seal the Vault server immediately

Even if the attacker was able to access the raw data, they would only have encrypted bits (TLS in transit)

A web application that uses Vault’s transit secrets engine to encrypt data in-transit can benefit from the following security features:
Even if the attacker was able to access the raw data, they would only have encrypted bits (TLS in transit). This means that the attacker would need to obtain the encryption key from Vault in order to decrypt the data, which is protected by Vault’s authentication and authorization mechanisms. The transit secrets engine does not store the data sent to it, so the attacker cannot access the data from Vault either.
The keys can be rotated and min_decryption_version moved forward to ensure this data cannot be decrypted. This means that the web application can periodically change the encryption key used to encrypt the data, and set a minimum decryption version for the key, which prevents older versions of the key from being used to decrypt the data. This way, even if the attacker somehow obtained an old version of the key, they would not be able to decrypt the data that was encrypted with a newer version of the key.
The other statements are not true, because:
You cannot rotate the encryption key so that the attacker won’t be able to decrypt the data. Rotating the key alone does not prevent the attacker from decrypting the data, as they may still have access to the old version of the key that was used to encrypt the data. You need to also move the min_decryption_version forward to invalidate the old version of the key.
The Vault administrator would not need to seal the Vault server immediately. Sealing the Vault server would make it inaccessible to both the attacker and the legitimate users, and would require unsealing it with the unseal keys or the recovery keys. Sealing the Vault server is a last resort option in case of a severe compromise or emergency, and is not necessary in this scenario, as the attacker does not have access to the encryption key or the data in Vault.

NEW QUESTION 29
To give a role the ability to display or output all of the end points under the /secrets/apps/* end point it would need to have which capability set?

update

read

sudo

list

None of the above

NEW QUESTION 30
Which of the following cannot define the maximum time-to-live (TTL) for a token?

By the authentication method t natively provide a method of expiring credentials

By the client system f credentials leaking

By the mount endpoint configuration very password used

A parent token TTL e password rotation tools and practices

System max TTL

NEW QUESTION 31
As a best practice, the root token should be stored in which of the following ways?

Should be revoked and never stored after initial setup

Should be stored in configuration automation tooling

Should be stored in another password safe

Should be stored in Vault

NEW QUESTION 32
Which of these are a benefit of using the Vault Agent?

Vault Agent allows for centralized configuration of application secrets engines

Vault Agent will auto-discover which authentication mechanism to use

Vault Agent will enforce minimum levels of encryption an application can use

Vault Agent will manage the lifecycle of cached tokens and leases automatically

NEW QUESTION 33
An organization would like to use a scheduler to track & revoke access granted to a job (by Vault) at completion. What auth-associated Vault object should be tracked to enable this behavior?

Token accessor

Token ID

Lease ID

Authentication method

A lease ID is a unique identifier that is assigned by Vault to every dynamic secret and service type authentication token. A lease ID contains information such as the secret path, the secret version, the secret type, etc. A lease ID can be used to track and revoke access granted to a job by Vault at completion, as it allows the scheduler to perform the following operations:
Lookup the lease information by using the vault lease lookup command or the sys/leases/lookup API endpoint. This will return the metadata of the lease, such as the expire time, the issue time, the renewable status, and the TTL.
Renew the lease if needed by using the vault lease renew command or the sys/leases/renew API endpoint. This will extend the validity of the secret or the token for a specified increment, or reset the TTL to the original value if no increment is given.
Revoke the lease when the job is completed by using the vault lease revoke command or the sys/leases/revoke API endpoint. This will invalidate the secret or the token immediately and prevent any further renewals. For example, with the AWS secrets engine, the access keys will be deleted from AWS the moment a lease is revoked.
A lease ID is different from a token ID or a token accessor. A token ID is the actual value of the token that is used to authenticate to Vault and perform requests. A token ID should be treated as a secret and protected from unauthorized access. A token accessor is a secondary identifier of the token that is used for token management without revealing the token ID. A token accessor can be used to lookup, renew, or revoke a token, but not to authenticate to Vault or access secrets. A token ID or a token accessor can be used to revoke the token itself, but not the leases associated with the token. To revoke the leases, a lease ID is required.
An authentication method is a way to verify the identity of a user or a machine and issue a token with appropriate policies and metadata. An authentication method is not an object that can be tracked or revoked, but a configuration that can be enabled, disabled, tuned, or customized by using the vault auth commands or the sys/auth API endpoints.
