Which of the following are not Remote Access concerns?
正解: D
Explanation/Reference: Access badges are more relevant to physical security rather than remote access. "Justification for remote access" is incorrect. Justification for remote access is a relevant concern. "Auditing of activities" is incorrect. Auditing of activites is an imporant aspect to assure that malicious or unauthorized activities are not occuring. "Regular review of access privileges" is incorrect. Regular review of remote accept privileges is an important management responsibility. References: AIO3, pp. 547 - 548

Which of the following statements pertaining to the maintenance of an IT contingency plan is incorrect?
正解: B
Explanation/Reference: Because the contingency plan contains potentially sensitive operational and personnel information, its distribution should be marked accordingly and controlled. Not all employees would obtain a copy, but only those involved in the execution of the plan. All other statements are correct. NOTE FROM CLEMENT: I have received multiple emails stating the explanations contradict the correct answer. It seems many people have a hard time with negative question. In this case the Incorrect choice (the one that is not true) is the correct choice. Be very carefull of such questions, you will get some on the real exam as well.

Which of the following would be MOST important to guarantee that the computer evidence will be admissible in court?
正解: D
Section: Risk, Response and Recovery Explanation/Reference: It has to be material, relevant and reliable, and the chain of custody must be maintained, it is unlikely that it will be admissible in court if it has been tampered with. The following answers are incorrect: It must prove a fact that is immaterial to the case. Is incorrect because evidence must be relevant. If it is immaterial then it is not relevant. Its reliability must be proven. Is incorrect because it is not the best answer. While evidence must be relevant if the chain of custody cannot be verified, then the evidence could lose it's credibility because there is no proof that the evidence was not tampered with. So, the correct answer above is the BEST answer. The process for producing it must be documented and repeatable. Is incorrect because just because the process is documented and repeatable does not mean that it will be the same. This amounts to Corroborative Evidence that may help to support a case.

Controls are implemented to:
正解: C
Section: Risk, Response and Recovery Explanation Explanation/Reference: Controls are implemented to mitigate risk and reduce the potential for loss. Preventive controls are put in place to inhibit harmful occurrences; detective controls are established to discover harmful occurrences; corrective controls are used to restore systems that are victims of harmful attacks. It is not feasible and possible to eliminate all risks and the potential for loss as risk/threats are constantly changing.

SSCP 試験問題 85
Within the realm of IT security, which of the following combinations best defines risk?
正解: B
Threat coupled with a vulnerability. Threats are circumstances or actions with the ability to harm a system. They can destroy or modify data or result an a DoS. Threats by themselves are not acted upon unless there is a vulnerability that can be taken advantage of. Risk enters the equation when a vulnerability (Flaw or weakness) exists in policies, procedures, personnel management, hardware, software or facilities and can be exploited by a threat agent. Vulnerabilities do not cause harm, but they leave the system open to harm. The combination of a threat with a vulnerability increases the risk to the system of an intrusion. The following answers are incorrect: Threat coupled with a breach. A threat is the potential that a particular threat-source will take advantage of a vulnerability. Breaches get around security. It does not matter if a breach is discovered or not, it has still occured and is not a risk of something occuring. A breach would quite often be termed as an incident or intrusion. Vulnerability coupled with an attack. Vulnerabilities are weaknesses (flaws) in policies, procedures, personnel management, hardware, software or factilities that may result in a harmful intrusion to an IT system. An attack takes advantage of the flaw or vulnerability. Attacks are explicit attempts to violate security, and are more than risk as they are active. Threat coupled with a breach of security. This is a detractor. Although a threat agent may take advantage of (Breach) vulnerabilities or flaws in systems security. A threat coupled with a breach of security is more than a risk as this is active.
