SSCP

Question 0

Referred to as the AIC Security triad:

Answer 0

1. Availability
2. Integrity
3. Confidentiality

Question 1

What are the three primary goals of information security are:

Answer 1

1. Preventing the loss of availability
2. The lost of integrity
3. The loss of confidentiality

Question 2

Organizations protect against loss of availability by using:

Answer 2

1. Backups
2. Redundant disks
3. Redundant servers
4. Redundant connections
5. Redundant sites

Question 3

Backup

Answer 3

• Capture a copy of the data

- A copy of backup data is kept in an offsite location

Question 4

Redundant disks

Answer 4

Redundant Array of independent disks (RAID) systems can automatically switch over to the drive holding the mirrored add without user intervention.

Question 5

Redundant Server

Answer 5

Failover clustering uses multiple servers and ensures that a service is still provided even if a server fails.

Question 6

Redundant connections

Answer 6

Two or more connections are used so that even if one fails, the organization still has connectivity.

Question 7

Redundant sites

Answer 7

Redundant sites are known as hot sites (ready at a moment’s notice), cold sites (an empty building with electricity and running water), and warm sites (a cross between a hot site and a cold site).

Question 8

Availability

Answer 8

Ensures that authorized users can access any resource when it’s needed.

Question 9

Fault-tolerant and redundant technologies

Answer 9

Ensure that availability is not lost even if a system suffers a failure.

Question 10

Integrity

Answer 10

Prevents any unauthorized or unwanted modification of data. It ensures that data is correct and current.

Question 11

hash

Answer 11

Is simply a number created by performing a mathematical algorithm against a file or message. As long as the file or message stays the same, the hash (the number) will always be the same.
