CISSP Security Architecture And Design

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. Audit data must be captured and protected to enforce accountability






2. The Orange book requires protection against two_____________ - which are these Timing and Storage






3. A portion of a process. When the thread is generated - it shares the same domain(resources) as its process.






4. What access control technique is also known as multilevel security?






5. Accreditation is the authorization by management to _____________________. This authorization may be either provisional or full.

11. Access control labels must be associated properly with objects.






12. B1 is also called "Labeled Security" and each data object must have a classification label and each subject a clearance label. On each access attempt - the classification and clearance are checked to verify that the access is permissible.






13. When the RAM and secondary storage are combined the result is __________.






14. When the address location that is specified in the program instruction contains the address of the final desired location.

16. The _________________ specified in the Orange Book are: System architecture - System integrity - Covert channel analysis - Trusted facility management and Trusted recovery.






17. If an operating system permits executable objects to be used sequentially by multiple users without a refresh of the objects - what security problem is most likely to exist?






18. What does the Clark-Wilson security model focus on






19. Used by Windows systems to reserve the "Swap Space"






20. The object reuse concept must also be invoked - meaning that any medium holding data must not contain any remnants of information after it is released for another subject to use. All data must be efficiently erased once the subject is doen with the m

23. Mandatory Protection






24. There is only only one class in Division D. Reserved for systems that have been evaluated but fail to meet the criteria and requirements of the higher divisions.






25. This type of environment is highly secured environment that processes very sensitive information. It requires systems that are highly resistant to penetration.

27. Bell-LaPadula Model -______________: A subject in a given security level can NOT WRITE information to a LOWER security level.






28. What is defined as the hardware - firmware and software elements of a trusted computing base that implement the reference monitor concept?






29. Software - hardware and firmware must be able to be tested individually to ensure that each enforces the security policy in an effective manner throughout their lifetimes.
