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.

4. Which can be used as a covert channel?






5. 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
