Traditional Questions, Answers, and Explanations

1. For information systems security, a penetration is defined as which of the following combinations?

a. Attack plus breach

b. Attack plus threat

c. Threat plus breach

d. Threat plus countermeasure

1. a. A penetration is the successful act of bypassing the security mechanisms of a computer system. An attack is an attempt to violate data security. A breach is the successful circumvention or disablement of a security control, with or without detection, which if carried to completion could result in penetration of the system. A threat is any circumstance or event with the potential to cause harm to a system in the form of destruction or modification of data, or denial-of-service. A countermeasure is any action, control, device, procedure, technique, or other measure that reduces the vulnerability of a threat to a system.

2. Which of the following is not a basic objective of computer-based information systems security?

a. Protection of system assets from loss, damage, and misuse

b. Accuracy of data and reliability of application processes

c. Availability of information and application processes

d. Control of data analysis

2. d. The control of information protection, accuracy, availability, and dissemination, not the control of data analysis, is one of the basic objectives of computer-based information systems security. Data analysis determines whether security objectives were achieved.

3. Which of the following is the primary purpose of plan of action and milestones document?

a. To reduce or eliminate known vulnerabilities

b. To use findings from security control assessments

c. To apply findings from security impact analyses

d. To implement findings from continuous monitoring activities
