QUESTION: 251

You and your project team are identifying the risks that may exist within your project. Some of the risks are small risks that won't affect your project much if they happen. What should you do with these identified risk events?

These risks can be dismissed.
These risks can be accepted.
These risks can be added to a low priority risk watch list.
All risks must have a valid, documented risk response.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Low-impact, low-probability risks can be added to the low priority risk watch list. Incorrect Answers:
A: These risks are not dismissed; they are still documented on the low priority risk watch list.

B: While these risks may be accepted, they should be documented on the low priority risk watch list. This list will be periodically reviewed and the status of the risks may change.

D: Not every risk demands a risk response, so this choice is incorrect.

QUESTION: 252

You are the project manager of your enterprise. You have introduced an intrusion detection system for the control. You have identified a warning of violation of security policies of your enterprise. What type of control is an intrusion detection system (IDS)?

Detective
Corrective
Preventative
Recovery

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors network and/or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a Management Station. Some systems may attempt to stop an intrusion attempt but this is neither required nor expected of a monitoring system. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them, and reporting attempts. In addition, organizations use IDPS for other purposes, such as identifying problems with security policies, documenting existing threats, and deterring individuals from violating security policies.

As IDS detects and gives warning when the violation of security policies of the enterprise occurs, it is a detective control.

Incorrect Answers:
B: These controls make effort to reduce the impact of a threat from problems discovered by detective controls. As IDS only detects but not reduce the impact, hence it is not a corrective control.

C: As IDS only detects the problem when it occurs and not prior of its occurrence, it is not preventive control.

D: These controls make efforts to overcome the impact of the incident on the business, hence IDS is not a recovery control.

QUESTION: 254

Which among the following acts as a trigger for risk response process?

Risk level increases above risk appetite
Risk level increase above risk tolerance
Risk level equates risk appetite
Risk level equates the risk tolerance

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The risk response process is triggered when a risk exceeds the enterprise's risk tolerance level. The acceptable variation relative to the achievement of an objective is termed as risk tolerance. In other words, risk tolerance is the acceptable deviation from the level set by the risk appetite and business objectives.

Risk tolerance is defined at the enterprise level by the board and clearly communicated to all stakeholders. A process should be in place to review and approve any exceptions to such standards.

Incorrect Answers:
A, C: Risk appetite level is not relevant in triggering of risk response process. Risk appetite is the amount of risk a company or other entity is willing to accept in pursuit of its mission. This is the responsibility of the board to decide risk appetite of an enterprise. When considering the risk appetite levels for the enterprise, the following two major factors should be taken into account:
The enterprise's objective capacity to absorb loss, e.g., financial loss, reputation damage, etc.
The culture towards risk taking-cautious or aggressive. In other words, the amount of loss the enterprise wants to accept in pursue of its objective fulfillment.

D: Risk response process is triggered when the risk level increases the risk tolerance level of the enterprise, and not when it just equates the risk tolerance level.
