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.

2. CISO






3. An open language from mitre.org for determining vulnerabilities and problems on computer systems






4. COSO






5. Long-term goals focused on risk managment - compliance - security responsiblities - continual improvement - using security to attract customers






6. Risk assessment that is scenario based - ranks threats and countermeasures - uses experience - judgment - intuition and opinion






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






8. The likelihood of exploitation and the loss potential






9. Controls that manage facility access - locking systems - media sanitation - intrusion monitoring - environmental






10. Provides a cost/benefit comparision






11. SLE x ARO - (ALE)






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






13. ISM Standard






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






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






16. An open source password cracker that uses dictionary and brute force attacks - stores previously cracked passwords - uses unshadow to merge password /shadow files






17. A log that can record outgoing requests - incoming traffic - and internet usage






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






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






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






21. Responsible for information classification and protection






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






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






24. Mitigates a potential risk






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






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






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






28. Possiblity of damage and the ramifications should it occur






29. NIST risk management methodology






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






31. Plan and Organize - Acquire and Implement - Deliver and Support - Monitor and Evaluate






32. This type of testing scans for vulnerabilities - attacks to determine extent - tests countermeasures by circumvention - and can be internal or external






33. Strategic - tactical and operational planning






34. The tools - personnel and business processes necessary to ensure that security meets needs






35. Framework/set of best practices that define goals for controls used to properly manage IT and to ensure IT maps to business needs






36. 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






37. IT governance at the operational level






38. _______________ can test IDS - detect network congestion - detect bad / failing equipment - detect high processor loads - must be NOS appropriate






39. Guide to illustrate how to protect personal health information






40. Type of audit that checks that accounts - groups and roles are correctly assigned






41. OCTAVE






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






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






44. Focus on service level agreements between IT dept and internal customers






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






46. Risk mgmt method with much broader focus than IT security






47. A weakness (software - hardware - procedural - human) that can be exploited






48. Internationally recognized Information Security Management standard - provides high level conceptual recomendations on enterprise security - brish standard






49. Information security managment measurements






50. Responsible for communicating to senior mgmt organizational risks and compliance regulations
