Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Identification and notification of an unauthorized and/or undesired action






2. The response of an organization to a disaster or other significant event that may significantly impact the organization - its people - or its ability to function productively.






3. Summary of a communication for the purpose of integrity






4. Mitigation of spamming and other attacks by delaying incoming connections as long as possible.






5. Interception of a communication session by an attacker.






6. Power surge






7. Induces a crime - tricks a person - and is illegal






8. A Denial of Service attack initiated by sending spoofed ICMP echo request to IP broadcast addresses. (See Fraggle)






9. Layer 1 network device that is used to connect network segments together - but provides no traffic control (a hub).






10. Process of identifying the risks to an organization - assessing the critical functions - defining the controls in place to reduce organization exposure and evaluating the cost for such controls.






11. A set of best practices for programmers to seek in all application or data base design: Atomicity - Consistency - Isolation - Durability






12. Tool which mediates access






13. Renders the file inaccessible to the operating system - available to reuse for data storage.






14. High level design or model with a goal of consistency - integrity - and balance






15. A specialized wireless receiver/ transmitter placed in orbit that facilitates long distance communication.






16. Uncheck data input which results in redirection






17. Unauthorized intrusion - unauthorized alteration or destruction - and using malicious code






18. Unchecked data which spills into another location in memory






19. A risk assessment method - measurable real money cost






20. The core of a computer that calculates

38. A signal suggesting a system has been or is being attacked.






39. An access policy that uses a security label system. Users have clearances - and resources have security labels that contain data classifications. MAC compares these two attributes to determine access control capabilies - most commonly used in governm






40. The past U.S. military accepted set of standards and processes for computer systems evaluation and assurance - which combines function and assurance requirements






41. Attempts to assign real and meaningful numbers to all elements of the risk analysis process.






42. Renders the record inaccessible to the database management system






43. Planning with a goal of returning to the normal business function






44. Evidence must be: admissible - authentic - complete - accurate - and convincing






45. Inappropriate data
