ISACA Certified Information Security Manager CISM Dumps in PDF

Free ISACA CISM Real Questions (page: 53)

A common concern with poorly written web applications is that they can allow an attacker to:

  1. gain control through a buffer overflow.
  2. conduct a distributed denial of service (DoS) attack.
  3. abuse a race condition.
  4. inject structured query language (SQL) statements.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Structured query language (SQL) injection is one of the most common and dangerous web application vulnerabilities. Buffer overflows and race conditions are very difficult to find and exploit on web applications. Distributed denial of service (DoS) attacks have nothing to do with the quality of a web application.



Which of the following would be of GREATEST importance to the security manager in determining whether to accept residual risk?

  1. Historical cost of the asset
  2. Acceptable level of potential business impacts
  3. Cost versus benefit of additional mitigating controls
  4. Annualized loss expectancy (ALE)

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The security manager would be most concerned with whether residual risk would be reduced by a greater amount than the cost of adding additional controls. The other choices, although relevant, would not be as important.



A project manager is developing a developer portal and requests that the security manager assign a public IP address so that it can be accessed by in-house staff and by external consultants outside the organization's local area network (LAN). What should the security manager do FIRST?

  1. Understand the business requirements of the developer portal
  2. Perform a vulnerability assessment of the developer portal
  3. Install an intrusion detection system (IDS)
  4. Obtain a signed nondisclosure agreement (NDA) from the external consultants before allowing external access to the server

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The information security manager cannot make an informed decision about the request without first understanding the business requirements of the developer portal. Performing a vulnerability assessment of developer portal and installing an intrusion detection system (IDS) are best practices but are subsequent to understanding the requirements. Obtaining a signed nondisclosure agreement will not take care of the risks inherent in the organization's application.



A mission-critical system has been identified as having an administrative system account with attributes that prevent locking and change of privileges and name. Which would be the BEST approach to prevent successful brute forcing of the account?

  1. Prevent the system from being accessed remotely
  2. Create a strong random password
  3. Ask for a vendor patch
  4. Track usage of the account by audit trails

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Creating a strong random password reduces the risk of a successful brute force attack by exponentially increasing the time required. Preventing the system from being accessed remotely is not always an option in mission-critical systems and still leaves local access risks. Vendor patches are not always available, tracking usage is a detective control and will not prevent an attack.



Attackers who exploit cross-site scripting vulnerabilities take advantage of:

  1. a lack of proper input validation controls.
  2. weak authentication controls in the web application layer.
  3. flawed cryptographic secure sockets layer (SSL) implementations and short key lengths.
  4. implicit web application trust relationships.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Cross-site scripting attacks inject malformed input. Attackers who exploit weak application authentication controls can gain unauthorized access to applications and this has little to do with cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Attackers who exploit flawed cryptographic secure sockets layer (SSI.) implementations and short key lengths can sniff network traffic and crack keys to gain unauthorized access to information. This has little to do with cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. Web application trust relationships do not relate directly to the attack.

took the test last week, i did have about 15 - 20 word for word from this site on the test. (only was able to cram 600 of the questions from this site so maybe more were there i didnt review) had 4 labs, bgp, lacp, vrf with tunnels and actually had to skip a lab due to time. lots of automation syntax questions.

question #50 and question #81 are exactly the same questions, azure site recovery provides________for virtual machines. the first says that it is fault tolerance is the answer and second says disater recovery. from my research, it says it should be disaster recovery. can anybody explain to me why? thank you

answer to this question "what administrative safeguards should be implemented to protect the collected data while in use by manasa and her product management team? " it should be (c) for the following reasons: this administrative safeguard involves controlling access to collected data by ensuring that only individuals who need the data for their job responsibilities have access to it. this helps minimize the risk of unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive information. while other options such as (a) documenting data flows and (b) conducting a privacy impact assessment (pia) are important steps in data protection, implementing a "need to know" access policy directly addresses the issue of protecting data while in use by limiting access to those who require it for legitimate purposes. (d) is not directly related to safeguarding data during use; it focuses on data transfers and location.

password lockout being the correct answer for question 37 does not make sense. it should be geofencing.
