a. System-motivated

b. Greed-motivated

c. Technology-motivated

d. Situation-motivated

55. d. The white-collar criminal tends to be situation-motivated, meaning that a change in his personal lifestyle and job status can make him commit crime.

System-motivated and technology-motivated actions are suitable for a career criminal, not for a white-collar criminal. Greed-motivated is the underlying and lower-level need for all criminals whether it is white-collar, blue-collar, or career criminals, but situation-motivated is a higher-level need suitable to the white-collar criminals.

56. Which of the following is a key to a successful computer crime?

a. System complexity

b. System users

c. Human skills

d. System predictability

56. d. Predictability is a key to successful crime as hackers know how the system works. System complexity is a deterrent to crime to a certain extent; system users, and people in general, are unpredictable. Human skills vary from person to person. Computers perform functions the same way all the time given the same input. This consistency opens the door to computer crime.

57. Computer crimes can be minimized with which of the following situations?

a. Static controls and variable features

b. Dynamic controls and variable features

c. Static controls and static features

d. Dynamic controls and static features

57. b. Both controls and features of a system can be manual and/or automated. The key is to vary both of them to prevent predictability of the nature of their operation. The degree of variation depends on the criticality of the system in that the greater the criticality the higher the variation.

58. Which of the following should be subject to confidentiality controls?

a. Copyrights

b. Patents

c. Trade secrets

d. Trademarks

58. c. Because trade secrets are the targets for employees and industrial espionage alike, they should be subject to confidentiality controls, whereas copyrights, patents, and trademarks require integrity, authenticity, and availability controls.

59. A person threatening another person through electronic mail is related to which of the following computer-security incident types?

a. Denial-of-service

b. Malicious code

c. Unauthorized access

d. Inappropriate usage

59. d. An inappropriate usage incident occurs when a user performs actions that violate acceptable computing-use policies. E-mail harassing messages to coworkers and others are an example of inappropriate usage actions.

A denial-of-service (DoS) attack prevents or impairs the authorized use of networks, systems, or applications by exhausting resources. Malicious code includes a virus, worm, Trojan horse, or other code-based malicious entity that infects a host. Unauthorized access is where a person gains logical or physical access without permission to a network, operating system, application system, data, or device.

60. A compliance auditor’s working papers should:

a. Provide the principal support for the auditor’s report

b. Not contain critical comments about information security management

c. Not contain IT management’s comments and concerns

d. Be considered a substitute for computer system logs and reports

60. a. The purpose of audit working papers is to document the audit work performed and the results thereof. The other three choices are incorrect because the auditor’s working papers can contain comments about information security management as well as IT management responses to the recommendations. The audit working papers are not a substitute for computer system logs and reports because it is the auditor’s own work product supporting the auditor’s report.

61. Which of the following produces the best results when data is recent; although, it is less comprehensive in identifying infected hosts?

a. Forensic identification

b. Active identification

c. Manual identification

d. Multiple identification

61. a. If forensic identification data is recent, it might be a good source of readily available information; although, the information might not be comprehensive in identifying infected hosts for legal evidence. The other three choices do not produce legal evidence.

62. Which of the following is preferred when other methods are insufficient in identifying infected hosts?

a. Forensic identification

b. Active identification

c. Manual identification
