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.

22. When a computer uses more than one CPU in parallel to execute instructions is known as?






23. Which would be designated as objects on a MAC system?






24. Security is made up of: System administration - ________ - installation and configuration mechanisms within the environment - and other security issues.






25. Which addresses a portion of the primary memory by specifying the actual address of the memory location?






26. Security Policies that prevent information from flowing from a higher security level to a lower security level are called ____________.






27. Mediates all access and Functions between subjects and objects.






28. Which evaluation class of the Trusted Network Interpretation (TNI) offers security domains?






29. The first mathematical model of a multi-level security policy used to define the concept of a secure state - the modes of access - and rules for granting access?






30. Another word for Primary storage and distinguishes physical memory from virtual memory.
