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.

23. In both the Bell-LaPadula and Biba Models if the word "* or Star is used - _______________.






24. A type of memory used for High-speed writing and reading activities.






25. What does the * (star) property mean in the Bell-LaPadula model?
