Five pillar of information security

Which security property ensures that information is ready for use and at the required performance level when needed?

• Availability

• Authentication

• Confidentiality

• Integrity

What is the primary goal of 'authentication' as a security property?

• To ensure data remains unchanged and accurate

• To limit access to sensitive information

• To prevent users from denying their actions

• To verify the users are who they claim to be

A scenario where a failure in confidential involves in data access

• A programmer debugging code.

• A system administrator backing up a database.

• An authorized employee accessing their own salary information.

• An authorized user accessing data they are not permitted to view.

An company is implementing measures to protect confidential information. Which of the following is a comprehensive approach that addresses various aspects of confidentiality?

• Combining information classification, secure storage, security policies, and user education.

• Implementing a strict password policy for all user accounts.

• Installing the latest antivirus software on all computers.

• Restricting physical access to the server room.

Which describes the primary purpose of encrypting sensitive data, both at rest and in transit, in the context of information confidentiality?

• To ensure data integrity during transmission

• To improve the speed of data access for authorized users

• To prevent unauthorized access to the data

• To reduce the storage space required for the data

Which action would NOT be considered a best practice for maintaining information confidentiality?

• Ensuring all employees undergo security awareness training

• Regular updating security policies based on new threats

• Storing all documents without classification to simplify access

• Using encryption for sensitive data at rest and in transit

Which data masking technique replaces sensitive data with similar, but non-sensitive data?

• Encryption

• Substitution

• Shuffling

• Tokenization

What is the primary role of ensuring data integrity?

• To maintain data confidentiality

• To provide reliable access to data

• To ensure data is accurate and complete

• To ensure data is encrupted

During data transmission, what can threaten the integrity of information?

• Data corruption

• Data encyrption

• Access control restrictions

• secure hashing algorithms

Besides file size, what is another method for detecting viruses or worms?

• File Hashing

• Analyzing CPU usage

• Checking file creation date

• Monitoring network traffic
