Comptia Security +: Assessment And Risk Mgmt

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. Process of ID and assessing risk - reducing to acceptable level - implementing mechanisms to maintain.






2. Used to ID failures in a complex systems to understand underlying causes of threats






3. A method of ID vulnerabililties and threats and assessing possible impacts to determine where to implement security safeguards






4. Physical damage - human interaction - equip malfunction - misuse of data - loss of data - application error






5. Risk mgmt method created by Carnegie Mellon University - people manage/direct the risk evaluation for IT security in a company






6. Controls that implement access control - password mangement - identification and authentication methods - configuration






7. Midterm goals






8. A tool that maps weaknesses of systems / networks by scanning for ports - checking for applications - determining OS and patch level - and attempting exploits






9. The following tools (Nessus - Qualys - Retina) are ______________ scanners






10. This tool scans network devices listening for open ports - (i.e. Nmap - scanmetender - superscan - NHS nohack scanner)






11. An instance of being exposed to losses from a threat






12. __________ loss has a negative effect after a vulnerability is initially exploited






13. Port scanners - vulnerability scanners - protocol analyzers - password crackers - network mappers - open vulnerability and assessment language (OVAL) are all tool used in a ___________________ assessment






14. Potential danger to information or systems






15. Used to predict changes based on trends - detect deviations - and watch events across multiple system components






16. Derived from the COSO framework






17. A process to ID assests and their value - ID vulnerabilities and threats - quantify probability and impact of threats - provide balance between impact and cost






18. A quantative risk assesment process that allows for tests to be conducted to allow users to determine areas that require a risk analysis






19. NIST risk management methodology






20. Possiblity of damage and the ramifications should it occur






21. A tool that monitors network traffic - shows data and protocols in use - also known as a packet sniffer (i.e wireshark - TCPDump - Microsoft Network Monitor - Carnivore)






22. Legal term used to determine liability - acting responsibly - have lower risk of liability due to security breach






23. Daily goals focused on productivity and task-oriented activities






24. Provides a cost/benefit comparision






25. De facto standard of best practices for IT service mgmt






26. Used in assurance risk mgmt - methodical way to ID major failure modes (not useful for complex failure modes)






27. COSO






28. Type of audit that checks procedures and policies for escalating issues to management






29. The likelihood of exploitation and the loss potential






30. The asset's value multiplied by the EF percentage - (SLE)






31. Ensures necessary level of secrecy and prevents unauthorized disclosure






32. Event levels available for logging in a MS DNS server






33. ISM Standard






34. Establish - implement - control and improve the Information Security Managment System (based on BS7799 Part 2)






35. Method of ID functions and their failures - causes of failures their effect - originally designed for systems engineering






36. OCTAVE






37. Guide to illustrate how to protect personal health information






38. Type of audit that checks that network resources - systems and software are used appropriately






39. Corporate governance at the strategic level






40. Responsible for developing: security awareness program - budget for information security related activities; policies - procdures - and guidelines - a security compliance program - and metrics






41. An password cracker that uses dictionary and brute force attacks - rainbow tables - can test password strength and recover passwords - was originally free - but now a commercial product






42. Type of audit that checks information classification and change control procedures






43. A commercial password cracker that can test password strength and recover passwords; and perform dictionary and brute force attacks






44. Guide assist in the implemenation of information security based on risk managent approach






45. Security policy - map business objectives to security - Security infrastructure - security officer - reviews - Assest classification/control - inventory - Personnel security - screening - training - roles - Physical security - Communication/operation






46. FMEA






47. Made up of ten domains - a mechanism to describe security processes






48. Controls that include policies - standards - procedures -risk management - personnel screening - training - change control






49. CISO






50. A plan of action to deal with risks defined in the risk assessment - may remediate or transfer risk
