Over a few years, you have a lot of data that has been encrypted by older versions of a Transit encryption key. Due to compliance regulations, you have to re-encrypt the data using the newest version of the encryption key. What is the easiest way to complete this task without putting the data at risk?
Which of the following are considered benefits of using policies in Vault? (Select three)
True or False? Performing a rekey operation using the vault operator rekey command creates new unseal/recovery keys as well as a new root key?
You are the primary Vault operator. During a routine audit, an auditor requested the ability to display all secrets under a specific path in Vault without seeing the actual stored data. Which policy permits the auditor to display the stored secrets without revealing their contents?
You have a CI/CD pipeline using Terraform to provision AWS resources with static privileged credentials. Your security team requests that you use Vault to limit AWS access when needed. How can you enhance this process and increase pipeline security?
You have a new team member on the Vault operations team. Their first task is to rotate the encryption key in Vault as part of the organization’s security policy. However, when they log in, they get an access denied error when attempting to rotate the key. The policy being used is below. Why can’t the user rotate the encryption key?
path " auth/* " {
capabilities = [ " create " , " read " , " update " , " delete " , " list " ]
}
path " sys/rotate " {
capabilities = [ " read " , " update " ]

A large organization uses Vault for various use cases with multiple auth methods enabled. A user can authenticate via LDAP, OIDC, or a local userpass account, but they receive different policies for each method and often need to log out and back in for different actions. What can be configured in Vault to ensure users have consistent policies regardless of their authentication method?
You need to write a new policy for Vault for a group of users on the automation team. The requirements stipulate that each user (and all future users) get access to their own private section of a KV secrets engine at the path kv/team/ and be able to manage their own secrets. Which policy below meets these requirements while minimizing the administrative effort and following the principle of least privilege?
You are working on a new project and need to retrieve a secret from Vault. You log into the Vault UI and browse to the path where the secret is stored. Based on the screenshot below, what is true about the secrets stored in this path? (Select four)
Your organization audited an essential application and found it isn’t securely storing data. For added security, auditors recommended encrypting all data before storing it in a backend database, and the application server should not store encryption keys locally. Which secrets engine meets these requirements?
