CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 67
A security engineer is assessing a new tool to segment data and communications between domains. The assessment must determine how data transmission controls can be bypassed without detection. Which of the following techniques should the security engineer use?
Answer options
- A. Machine-learning statistical analysis
- B. Fuzz testing
- C. Covert channel analysis
- D. Protocol analysis
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, Covert channel analysis, as it specifically examines ways information can be sent in a manner that avoids detection by existing controls. Options A, B, and D do not primarily focus on identifying undetected bypass methods; instead, they are concerned with data analysis, testing vulnerabilities, and examining protocols, respectively.
