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. 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






2. Percentage of an asset's value that would be lost in a single incident - (EF)






3. Responsible for information classification and protection






4. Assurance of accurancy and reliability of information and systems






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