Cisco CyberOps Associate CBROPS 200-201 Practice Test
Practice Test
Description
The Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) exam is a 120-minute exam that includes 95 to 105 questions. This exam and curriculum are designed to prepare the cybersecurity analysts of the future! The CyberOps Associate certification provides a path to prepare individuals pursuing a cybersecurity career and associate-level job roles in security operations centers (SOCs). The exam covers the fundamentals you need to prevent, detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity incidents.
There are no prerequisites for the 200-201 CBROPS exam; however, students must have an understanding of networking and cybersecurity concepts.
This practice test help you to pass the exam. The contents of this test cover each of the domains represented in the exam.

- Identify the challenges of data visibility (network, host, and cloud) in detection
- Identify potential data loss from provided traffic profiles
- Interpret the 5-tuple approach to isolate a compromised host in a grouped set of logs
- Compare rule-based detection vs. behavioral and statistical detection
2- Security Monitoring (25%)
- Compare attack surface and vulnerability
- Identify the types of data provided by these technologies

- Describe the impact of certificates on security (includes PKI, public/private crossing the network, asymmetric/symmetric)
- Identify the certificate components in a given scenario
3- Host-based Analysis (20%)
- Describe the functionality of these endpoint technologies in regard to security monitoring
- Identify components of an operating system (such as Windows and Linux) in a given scenario
- Describe the role of attribution in an investigation
- Identify type of evidence used based on provided logs
- Compare tampered and untampered disk image

4- Network Intrusion Analysis (20%)
- Map the provided events to source technologies
- Compare impact and no impact for these items
- Compare deep packet inspection with packet filtering and stateful firewall operation
- Compare inline traffic interrogation and taps or traffic monitoring
- Compare the characteristics of data obtained from taps or traffic monitoring and transactional data (NetFlow) in the analysis of network traffic
- Extract files from a TCP stream when given a PCAP file and Wireshark
- Identify key elements in an intrusion from a given PCAP file
- Interpret the fields in protocol headers as related to intrusion analysis
- Interpret common artifact elements from an event to identify an alert
5- Security Policies and Procedures (15%)
- Describe management concepts
- Describe the elements in an incident response plan as stated in NIST.SP800-61
- Apply the incident handling process (such as NIST.SP800-61) to an event
- Map elements to these steps of analysis based on the NIST.SP800-61
- Map the organization stakeholders against the NIST IR categories (CMMC, NIST.SP800-61)
- Describe concepts as documented in NIST.SP800-86
- Identify these elements used for network profiling
- Identify these elements used for server profiling
- Identify protected data in a network
- Classify intrusion events into categories as defined by security models, such as Cyber Kill Chain Model and Diamond Model of Intrusion
