Question

which of the following are examples of technical controls? choose two answers. cmdlets hashing algorithms firewalls intrusion detection systems documentation

Explanation:

Technical controls in cybersecurity are technology - based measures to protect systems. Hashing algorithms are used for data integrity (e.g., verifying file integrity), firewalls filter network traffic, and intrusion detection systems monitor for malicious activity. Cmdlets are PowerShell commands (not technical controls), and documentation is an administrative control. So two of the technical controls are Hashing algorithms, Firewalls, or Intrusion detection systems. Commonly, Firewalls and Intrusion detection systems (or Hashing algorithms) are typical. Let's analyze: Firewalls control network access (technical), Intrusion detection systems monitor for threats (technical), Hashing algorithms are technical for data integrity. Cmdlets are commands, documentation is administrative. So two correct could be Firewalls and Intrusion detection systems (or Hashing algorithms and one of the other two). Let's confirm: Firewalls (technical control for network security), Intrusion detection systems (technical for threat detection), Hashing algorithms (technical for data integrity). Cmdlets: PowerShell commands, not a control. Documentation: administrative. So the two are, for example, Firewalls and Intrusion detection systems (or Hashing algorithms and Firewalls, etc.).

Answer:

B. Hashing algorithms, C. Firewalls (or B. Hashing algorithms, D. Intrusion detection systems, or C. Firewalls, D. Intrusion detection systems)

(Note: The three options Hashing algorithms, Firewalls, and Intrusion detection systems are technical controls. So any two of them are correct. For example, if we choose Firewalls and Intrusion detection systems, the answer is C. Firewalls, D. Intrusion detection systems)
