   What is a key benefit of integrating ECS with Active Directory?

   • AIt allows ECS to store encrypted copies of AD user passwords for offline authentication.
   • BIt enables single sign-on (SSO) for users accessing ECS with their existing AD credentials.
   • CIt allows ECS to create and manage user accounts independently of the enterprise directory.
   • DIt eliminates the need for network connectivity between ECS and the AD domain controllers.

   A company is integrating ECS with its existing Active Directory (AD) environment. The security team requires that ECS administrators authenticate using their AD credentials and that their group memberships determine their access permissions within ECS. Which configuration approach should the administrator use?

   • ACreate local ECS users and manually assign permissions to each user.
   • BEnable SSO with AD but keep ECS authorization separate from AD groups.
   • CConfigure ECS to use AD for authentication and map AD groups to ECS roles.
   • DUse LDAP only for authentication and assign permissions directly to AD users.

   What is a primary benefit of using D@RE in an ECS deployment?

   • AIt provides a defense-in-depth layer that protects data on drives that are retired or repurposed.
   • BIt eliminates the need for secure erasure procedures when decommissioning drives.
   • CIt allows ECS to encrypt data in transit between clients and the storage nodes.
   • DIt improves performance by compressing data before it is written to disk.

   A healthcare organization is deploying ECS to store patient records. The compliance officer requires that data be encrypted at rest, but also wants to ensure that if a physical disk is removed from the cluster, the data on it remains unreadable. Which D@RE feature directly addresses this requirement?

   • AEncryption of data at rest using platform-managed keys.
   • BData deduplication to reduce the amount of data on each disk.
   • CReplication of data across multiple nodes.
   • DSecure erase of disks before removal.

   How does ECS use Active Directory (AD) for authentication?

   • AECS forwards authentication requests to AD, which validates the user credentials and returns a security token.
   • BECS uses AD only for authorization, not for authentication, because authentication is handled by the ECS management console.
   • CECS replicates the AD database to its local nodes to authenticate users without network access to AD.
   • DECS stores user credentials locally and uses AD only for group membership.
