QUESTION: 103 Topic: 1, Access Control

Which of the following is NOT a factor related to Access Control?

integrity
authenticity
confidentiality
availability

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

These factors cover the integrity, confidentiality, and availability components of information system security.
Integrity is important in access control as it relates to ensuring only authorized subjects can make changes to objects.
Authenticity is different from authentication. Authenticity pertains to something being authentic, not necessarily having a direct correlation to access control.
Confidentiality is pertinent to access control in that the access to sensitive information is controlled to protect confidentiality.
vailability is protected by access controls in that if an attacket attempts to disrupt availability they would first need access.

QUESTION: 104 Topic: 1, Access Control

Which of the following is most appropriate to notify an external user that session monitoring is being conducted?

Logon Banners
Wall poster
Employee Handbook
Written agreement

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Banners at the log-on time should be used to notify external users of any monitoring that is being conducted. A good banner will give you a better legal stand and also makes it obvious the user was warned about who should access the system and if it is an unauthorized user then he is fully aware of trespassing.
This is a tricky question, the keyword in the question is External user.
There are two possible answers based on how the question is presented, this question could either apply to internal users or ANY anonymous user.
Internal users should always have a written agreement first, then logon banners serve as a constant reminder.
Anonymous users, such as those logging into a web site, ftp server or even a mail server; their only notification system is the use of a logon banner.

specify which resources they can access
specify how to restrain hackers
specify what operations they can perform on a system.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:
