JNCIA-SEC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Security (2021) — Question 61
What is the order in which malware is detected and analyzed?
Answer options
- A. antivirus scanning –> cache lookup –> dynamic analysis –> static analysis
- B. cache lookup –> antivirus scanning –> static analysis –> dynamic analysis
- C. antivirus scanning –> cache lookup –> static analysis –> dynamic analysis
- D. cache lookup –> static analysis –> dynamic analysis –> antivirus scanning
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B because it follows the logical sequence starting with a cache lookup to quickly check for known threats, then proceeds to antivirus scanning to detect any malicious files, followed by static analysis to examine the code without executing it, and finally dynamic analysis which involves running the code in a controlled environment. The other options do not follow this effective order and may result in delayed detection or analysis of malware.
