• 1 CISSP Practice Questions and Answers
• The "State Machine Concept" security model
  requires that a system be secured throughout all
  of its states (Startup, Function, and Shutdown)
  or else it is insecure. This criterion demands
  responding to security incidents in order to
  prevent future breaches. What security aspect is
  exemplified by this response method?
• Open Design
• Closed Design
• Trusted Recovery
• Least Privilege
• Answer A
• According to the idea of open design, the
  security of a mechanism should not be dependent
  on the secrecy of its design or implementation.
  The openclosed concept in object-oriented
  programming argues that "software entities
  (classes, modules, functions, etc.) should be
  open for extension but closed for change," which
  means that such an entity can allow its behavior
  to be expanded without affecting its source code.
  The notion and practice of limiting access
  permissions for users, accounts, and computer
  processes to only those resources strictly
  necessary to accomplish normal, authorized tasks
  is known as the least privilege.

• A security problem when utilizing private keys is
  that a user's private key may be lost. To reduce
  this risk, a practitioner might use a key
  recovery agent that can backup and restore his
  keys. Giving a single person the capacity to
  recover users' private keys increases the
  possibility of nonrepudiation since another party
  has key access. Which of the following principles
  could be used to minimize this risk?
• Segregation of duties
• Principle of least privilege
• Dual control
• Need to know
• Answer C
• Dual Control is a security paradigm that
  necessitates the presence of several parties for
  an activity that may have serious security
  ramifications. In this case, it is probably
  desirable to have at least two network
  administrators present before attempting to
  retrieve a private key. M of N control is a
  subset of dual control. M and N are variables,
  however in order to retrieve a key, this control
  requires M out of a total of N administrators to
  be present. The notion of segregation of duties
  refers to the requirement of more than one person
  to accomplish a sensitive duty. The principle of
  least privilege (PoLP) is an information security
  concept in which a person is granted the bare
  minimum of access or permissions required to
  execute a task.

• 3 CISSP Questions and Answers
• What is the most proactive (and minimum effort)
  way to mitigate the risk of an attacker gaining
  network access and using a protocol analyzer to
  capture and view (sniff) unencrypted traffic?
• Scan the network periodically to determine if
  unauthorized devices are connected. If those
  devices are
• Implement a policy that forbids the use of packet
  analyzers/sniffers. Monitor the network
  frequently.
• To prevent an illegal device from connecting to
  the network, implement security measures like
  blocking ports and mac filtering on business
  switches. To prevent unwanted software from being
  installed on systems, implement software
  restriction rules..
• detected, disconnect them immediately, and
  provide management a report on the violation
• Install anti-spyware software on all systems on
  the network.
• Answer C
• To drastically reduce network threats, we must
  build security that restricts external device
  connection to our network. Furthermore, we are
  concerned about monitoring software being placed
  on our hosts, thus we wish to restrict such
  software's ability to be deployed. Furthermore,
  we want to guarantee that other fundamental
  security needs are met, such as the use of strong
  passwords, system lockout procedures, physical
  security, and so on.
• Remember that proactive devices PREVENT an attack
  rather than reacting to it. These devices are
  frequently detected by network scans, but they
  are seldom prevented. Policies define high-level
  enterprise intentions, which may later be put
  into action. Antispyware installation is a
  reactive/corrective measure, not a
  proactive/preventative one.

• 4 CISSP Practice Questions Answers
• Specific system components determine that
  systems security. The trust of the system is a
  reflection of the trust of these components.
  These components are collectively referred to as
  the __________ of the system.
• Ring 1 elements
• Trusted Computing Base
• Operating System Kernel
• Firmware
• Answer B
• The TCB (Trusted Computer Base) specifies the
  pieces of a system that implement security
  policies and are used to assess a system's
  security capabilities. The Orange Book invented
  this phrase. The term "ring 1 elements" refers to
  a mathematical concept. The kernel is a computer
  software that runs at the heart of an operating
  system and has total control over everything in
  the system. It is the "part of the operating
  system code that is constantly resident in
  memory" that allows hardware and software
  components to interact. (This is sometimes
  referred to as the Trusted Computer System
  assessment criterion.)
• The TCB contains components such as the system
  BIOS, the CPU, memory, and the OS kernel. In
  computing, firmwarea is a type of computer
  software that gives low-level control over the
  hardware of a device. Firmware can either offer a
  standardized operating environment for more
  complicated device software (enabling more
  hardware independence) or operate as the device's
  full operating system, handling all control,
  monitoring, and data processing activities.

• 5 CISSP Sample Questions and Answers
• Security measures must be matched with business
  objectives, according to a fundamental security
  premise. Why is the notion of business alignment
  relevant in light of the influence security has
  on an organization's success?
• There is always a tradeoff for security, so an
  organization has to weigh the cost vs. benefits
  of the security measures.
• Security is too costly to implement in small
  organizations.
• Security is cheap and easily implemented compared
  to the potential for loss. Security should be
• implemented everywhere possible.
• Security is so important that every organization
  must implement as much as possible.
• Answer A
• There is always a cost to security. Sometimes the
  cost is expressed in monetary terms. Security
  often has a detrimental impact on performance,
  backward compatibility, and simplicity of use. A
  company must evaluate the broader aims of the
  business while keeping its main demands in mind.
  Sensitive military information requires far
  greater protection than a tiny home/office setup
  containing information of little to no value to
  an adversary. The amount of security provided
  should be proportionate with company demands at a
  fair cost, and it should be tailored to each
  enterprise's specific requirements.

• Trust and Assurance are two characteristics that
  are included in the assessment scope when
  assessing a system according to the TCSEC and the
  more current Common Criteria. Which of the
  following better expresses trust and assurance?
• Assurance describes the function of the product,
  while trust describes the reliability of the
  process used to create the product.
• Assurance describes how secure the system is,
  while trust describes performance capabilities.
• Trust describes the function of the product,
  while assurance describes the reliability of the
  process used to create the product.
• Trust describes how secure the system is, while
  assurance describes performance capabilities.
• Answer C
• Trust is often characterized in terms of a
  system's security features, functions, processes,
  services, procedures, and architectures. Based on
  the reliability of the procedures used to design
  the system, security assurance is a measure of
  confidence that the security functionality is
  implemented correctly, performing as intended,
  and providing the expected output.

• The Germans utilized the Enigma machine to
  exchange encrypted messages throughout WWII. It
  was a spinning disk-based device with a secrecy
  mechanism based on the initial rotor
  configuration. When the initial system was
  penetrated, the Germans added a fourth rotor to
  increase the complexity required to break the
  code exponentially. This concept is seen in the
  relationship between ___________.
• AES and Kerberos
• DES/3DES
• RSA and DSA
• RSA and DSA
• Answer B
• DES was initially the US Government's standard
  for securing sensitive but unclassified
  information. When DES was breached, the US
  government sought a speedy way to improve its
  security. 3DES increased the key length from 56
  bits to 168 bits. Increasing the key length or
  the length of the initialization vector is often
  a straightforward way to enhance a weak algorithm.

• 8 CISSP Sample Questions and Answers
• In mail messages, the contents of the message are
  often encrypted by a symmetric algorithm, likely
  AES. Non-repudiation, however, is obtained
  through a combination of hashing and an
  asymmetric algorithm. How is non-repudiation
  accomplished?
• By hashing the document then encrypting the hash
  with the receivers public key
• By encrypting the document with the senders
  public key, then hashing the document
• By hashing the document and then encrypting the
  hash with the senders private key
• By encrypting the document with the senders
  private key, then hashing document
• Answer C
• A digital signature ensures message
  non-repudiation (a mix of integrity and
  authenticity). A digital signature hashes the
  message using a hashing technique such as SHA-1
  or SHA-256. The hash is then encrypted using a
  method such as RSA using the sender's private
  key. The recipient uses the sender's public key
  to decode the signature and recalculates the hash
  from the message. If the two match, both the
  sender and the contents of the communication are
  authenticated.

• What is a birthday attack?
• A password attack based on the assumption that
  many users use weak passwords based on personal
  information such as birthdays.
• A logic bomb that detonates on the attacker's
  birthday.
• An attack that attempts to find collisions in
  separate messages.
• An assault aimed against personnel databases in
  an attempt to compromise personal information in
  order to commit identity theft.
• Answer C
• A birthday attack is based on the premise that it
  is easier to discover two hashes that have a
  chance to match than it is to try to generate a
  specific hash. It's termed a birthday attack
  because it's easier to identify two people in a
  group whose birthdays simply happen to coincide
  than it is to find someone with a specified
  birthday.

• 10 CISSP Practice Questions and Answers
• If an enterprise is considering migrating
  resources to the cloud and wishes to ensure that
  the Cloud Service Provider has the ability to
  provision and deprovision resources in an
  automatic manner, so that available resources
  match the current demand as closely as possible,
  which technique choice would be most appropriate?
• Scalability
• Elasticity
• Availability
• Reliability
• Answer B
• One of the most significant advantages of cloud
  infrastructure is its elasticity. Elasticity is
  the degree to which systems can adjust to changes
  in workload by dynamically providing and
  de-provisioning needed resources so that
  available resources match current demand as
  nearly as feasible at any given time.
