1) Data in transit
OBJ-6.1: Data in transit (or data in motion) occurs whenever data is transmitted over a network. Examples of types of data in transit include website traffic, remote access traffic, data being synchronized between cloud repositories, and more. In this state, data can be protected by a transport encryption protocol, such as TLS or IPsec. Data at rest means that the data is in persistent storage media using whole disk encryption, database encryption, and file- or folder-level encryption. Data in use is when data is present in volatile memory, such as system RAM or CPU registers and cache. Secure processing mechanisms such as Intel Software Guard Extensions can encrypt data as it exists in memory so that an untrusted process cannot decode the information. This uses a secure enclave and requires a hardware root of trust. Data loss prevention (DLP) products automate the discovery and classification of data types and enforce rules so that data is not viewed or transferred without proper authorization. DLP is a generic term that may include data at rest, data in transit, or data in use to function.

1) The attack widely fragmented the image across the host file system
OBJ-5.5: Due to the VM disk image's deletion, you will now have to conduct file carving or other data recovery techniques to recover and remediate the virtualized server. If the server's host uses a proprietary file system, such as VMFS on ESXi, this can further limit support by data recovery tools. The attacker may have widely-fragmented the image across the host file system when they deleted the disk image. VM instances are most useful when they are elastic (meaning they optimally spin up when needed) and then destroyed without preserving any local data when security has performed the task, but this can lead to the potential of lost system logs. To prevent this, most VMs also save their logs to an external Syslog server or file. Virtual machine file formats are image-based and written to a mass storage device. Depending on the configuration and VM state, security must merge any checkpoints to the main image, using a hypervisor tool, not recovery from an old snapshot, and then roll forward. It is possible to load VM data into a memory analysis tool, such as Volatility. However, some hypervisors' file formats require conversion first, or it may not support the analysis tool.

What is the correct order of the Incident Response process?
1) Identification, Containment, Eradication, Preparation, Recovery, and Lessons Learned
2) Preparation, Identification, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Lessons Learned

2) Preparation, Identification, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Lessons Learned
OBJ-5.4: The proper order of the Incident Response process is Preparation, Identification, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Lessons Learned. Concepts with lists of steps are common questions asked as an ordering or a drag and drop question on the exam. For example, the steps of incident response, the order of volatility, or the strength of encryption schemes could be asked using this question format.
