ECCouncil EC-Council Certified DevSecOps Engineer (ECDE) Sample Questions:

Question 1

Emma is a DevSecOps engineer at a software company that primarily develops Java-based applications. The development team frequently encounters inconsistent builds, dependency management issues, and difficulties in tracking project artifacts. Emma's project manager after consideration recommends using Apache Maven to be integrated to their project pipeline. Which of the following is the key advantage of using Apache Maven in a DevSecOps environment?

A. It replaces the need for CI/CD pipelines by automating security testing and vulnerability scanning.
B. It provides a structured and automated build process, ensuring dependency management and project consistency.
C. It prevents unauthorized API requests by enforcing strict access control policies.
D. It continuously monitors runtime security threats in Java applications.

Question 2

Isabela Marques, a DevSecOps engineer at a Porto software consultancy, wants developers to receive immediate feedback about newly introduced vulnerabilities directly within their pull request, before a reviewer even looks at the code, rather than waiting for a separate nightly scan report. What practice best achieves this?

A. Scheduling a weekly manual penetration test
B. Running scans only after each quarterly release
C. Integrating automated security scanning (SAST/SCA) into the pull request CI workflow
D. Waiting for production incident reports

Question 3

A retail company uses Google Cloud to manage its CI/CD pipeline. At 9 AM on June 1, 2024, the team initiated a deployment process to update their application across three Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters. The deployment was triggered by a YAML file, which defined sequential steps for building, testing, and deploying container images. During the process, notifications were automatically sent to Pub/Sub topics to inform the team about deployment status and approvals. Identify the Google Cloud service responsible for executing the deployment.

A. Cloud Functions.
B. Cloud Build.
C. Artifact Registry.
D. Cloud Deploy.

Question 4

During a recent sprint, your development team realized that security vulnerabilities were often detected too late in the deployment cycle, leading to delays and increased remediation costs. To address this issue, you integrated Snyk with Bitbucket to ensure early identification of security flaws in the codebase. Your goal is to make vulnerabilities immediately visible during the code review phase so that developers can address security concerns before merging code into the main branch. This will help enforce security best practices and prevent high-risk vulnerabilities from being introduced into production. Which configuration should you implement to achieve this?

A. Set up automated email notifications for vulnerabilities discovered by Snyk.
B. Enable Code Insights in Bitbucket to display security issues in pull requests.
C. Set up a custom security dashboard to track vulnerabilities in Bitbucket.
D. Configure an alert in Bitbucket for vulnerabilities in each commit.

Question 5

A DevSecOps team is responsible for automating infrastructure deployment using Ansible. During a routine security audit, they discover that sensitive information-such as database credentials and API keys-is stored in plain text within Ansible playbooks. This introduces a serious security risk, as exposing these playbooks could lead to unauthorized access to critical systems. To address this issue, the team must implement a secure approach that protects confidential data within Ansible playbooks, prevents unauthorized access to sensitive information, and ensures seamless automation without exposing secrets in plaintext. Which solution should the team implement?

A. Use ansible-playbook to apply encryption to sensitive data directly within task definitions.
B. Use ansible-vault to encrypt sensitive data within the playbooks.
C. Use ansible-console to encrypt sensitive information during runtime execution of tasks.
D. Use ansible-galaxy to fetch encryption modules for securing playbooks.
