Q

True of false. You must have both authentication and integrity to have non repudiation

30
Q

It means users should be granted the minimum amount of access (authorisation) required to do their jobs

A

Least Privilege

31
Q

Is an active entity on a data system

32
Q

This applies multiple safeguards also called controls, measures taken to reduce risk to protect an asset

A

Defence in depth or layered defenses

33
Q

True or false. All controls can fail, and sometimes multiple control will fail. Deploying a range of different Defense in depth safeguards in your your organisation lowers the chance that all control will fail.

34
Q

—- give subjects full control of objects they have been given access to, including sharing the objects with other subjects

A

Discretionary Access Control - DAC

35
Q

Is a system enforced access control based on subject clearances and object labels

A

Mandatory Access Control -MAC

36
Q

True or false. A subject may access an object only if the subjects clearance is equal to or greater than the objects label.

37
Q

It defines how information is accessed on a system based on the role of the object

A

Role Based Access Control - RBAC

38
Q

True or false. RBAC is a type of non discretionary access control because users do not have discretion regarding the group of objects they are allowed to access and are unable to transfer objects to other subjects.

39
Q

Is another non discretionary access control model, related to RBAC based on the tasks each subject must perform, such as writing prescriptions, restoring data from a backup tape, or opening a help a help desk ticket.

A

Task Based Access Control

40
Q

Concentrates access control in one logical point for a system or organisation

A

Centralised Access Control

41
Q

Is an access control where organisations spans to multiple location. The local sites support and maintain independent systems, access control database and data

A

Decentralised Access Control

42
Q

This occurs as individual users gain more access to more systems

A

Access aggregation

43
Q

Users gain more entitlements without shedding the old ones.

A

Authorisation creep

44
Q

Is a centralised access control system that requires users to send an ID and static (reusable) password for authentication. It uses UDP or TCP port 49.

45
Q

In Microsoft trust relationship, if A trust B, then A will trust all B’s trusted partners. What type of relationship is this?

A

Transitive trust

46
Q

This means limiting the access of authorised users to data they require to perform their duties

A

Least Privilege

47
Q

This allows an organisation to maintain checks and balances among the employees with privileged access by having more than one individual to perform part of a sensitive transaction.

A

Separation of Duties

48
Q

This describes a process that requires different staff perform the same duty.

A

Rotation of Duties

49
Q

Is a label that shall be applied to information,the unauthorised disclosure of which reasonably could be effected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.

A

Top Secret

50
Q

Is a label that shall be applied to information,the unauthorised disclosure of which reasonably could be effected to cause serious damage to the national security.

51
Q

Is a label that shall be applied to information,the unauthorised disclosure of which reasonably could be effected to cause damage to the national security.

A

Confidential

52
Q

Is a determination about whether or not a user can be trusted with a specific level of information

A

Clearance.

Remember objects have labels, subject have clearances

53
Q

Is documented approval from data owner for a subject to access certain objects, requiring the subject to understand all of the rules , and requirements for accessing data and consequences should the data become lost, destroyed or compromised

A

Formal Access Approval

54
Q

What are the six access control types?

A 
Preventive
Detective
Corrective
Recovery
Deterrent
Compensating
55
Q

Three access control categories

A

Administrative
Technical
Physical

56
Q

Is a type of access control that prevents actions from occurring.

A

Preventive

57
Q

Are controls that alert during or after a successful attack

58
Q

Is control that works by correcting a damaged system or process

A

Corrective

59
Q

After a security incident has occurred, this control may have to be taken in order to restore the functionality of the system and organisation.

60
Q

This control deter users from performing an actions on a system

61
Q

Is an additional security control put in place to compensate for weaknesses in other control

A

Compensating

62
Q

These controls are implemented by creating and following organisational policy, procedure, or regulation. User training and awareness also fall into this category

A

Administrative

63
Q

These controls are implemented using software, hardware, or firmware that restricts logical access on an information technology system . Examples includes firewalls, routers, encryption, etc

64
Q

These controls are implemented with physical devices such as locks, fences, gates, security guards, etc…

65
Q

Is a term used for the combination of both identification and authentication of a user

A

Credential set

66
Q

Three basic authentication methods

A

Type 1 - something that you know
Type 2 - something that you have
Type 3 - something you are

67
Q

Is reusable password that may or may not expire

A

Static password

68
Q

—– Are long static passwords, comprises of words in phrases or sentence

Passphrase

69
Q

This password may be used for single authentication, impossible to reuse and is valid for single use

A

One time password

70
Q

—-passwords that change at regular intervals

A

Dynamic Passwords

71
Q

This requires that user present more than one authentication factor
