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.

18. For rhe type of environment that processes sensitive data that require a higher degree of security. It requires systems that are relatively resistant to peneration and compromise






19. Accreditation is also defined as an ____________________ by a designated authority that an information system is approved to operate in a particular security configuration with a prescribed set of safeguards






20. 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.
