Crossover Error Rate is the number that results when a biometric device is adjusted to provide equal false acceptance and false rejection rates.What type of access control would be the best choice for a person that would like to support a declaration like "Only allow access to customer service on managed devices on the wireless network between 8 am and 7 pm"?Attribute Based Access Control ABAC What is the benefit of an ABAC over a RBAC?An ABAC can be more specific thus more flexible What is the primary advantage of decentralized access control?It provides control of access to people closer to the resources How are rules set in ABAC systems?Uses boolean logic statements which allow it to be more flexible than RBAC for temporary rules such as to allow time limited access.Which of the following is best described as an access control model that focuses on subjects and identifies the objects that each subject can access?

• Access control list
• Capability Table
• Implicit denial list

AUTHORIZED to perform A new member at a 24 hour gym that uses fingerprints to gain access after hours is surprised to find out that he is registering as a different member. What type of biometric factor error occurred?Since he was accepted as a different member this was a Type 2 (false positive) error. If he was not accepted and the door remained locked it would have been a Type 1 (false negative) error.You are tasked with adjusting your organizations password requirements to make them align with best practices from NIST. What should you set password expiration to?NIST Special Publication 800-63b suggests that organizations should not impose password expiration requirements on end users What access control scheme labels subjects and objects and allows subjects to access objects when labels match?Mandatory Access Control (MAC)

Mandatory Access Control is based on what type of model?Lattice Based You need to create a trust relationship between your company and a vendor. You need to implement the system so that it will allow users from the vendor's organization to access your accounts payable system using the accounts created for them by the vendor. What type of authentication do you need to implement?This type of authentication, where one domain trusts users from another domain, is called federation.Users change job positions quite often at your new company. Which type of access control would make it easier to allow administrators to adjust permissions when these changes occur?

• Role-Based Access Control
• Mandatory Access Control
• Discretionary Access Control
• Rule-Based Access Control

A Role-Based Access Control would assign permission to roles and then the administrator would simply adjust the role of the user when he or she changes jobs Which of the following authenticators is appropriate to use by itself rather than in combination with other biometric factors?

• Voice pattern recognition
• Hand geometry
• Palm scans
• Heart/pulse patterns
• Palm scans compare the vein patterns in the palm to a database to authenticate

a user.As part of hiring a new employee, Sven's identity management team creates a new user object and ensures that the user object is available in the directories and systems where it is needed. What is this process called?Provisioning includes the creation, maintenance, and removal of user objects from applications, systems, and directories.The Linux filesystem allows the owners of objects to determine the access rights that subjects have to them.What type of access control does Linux use?Discretionary Access Control Mary's organization handles very sensitive governmental agency information. They need to implement an access control system that allows administrators to set access rights but does not allow the delegation of those rights to other users. What is the best type of access control design for Mary's organization?Mandatory Access Control (MAC) systems allow an administrator to configure access permissions but do not allow users to delegate permission to others.What term is used to describe the default set of privileges assigned to a user when a new account is created?

• Aggregation
• Transitivity
• Baseline
• Entitlement
• Entitlement refers to the privileges granted to useres when an account is first

provisioned.

Steve is the risk manager for a company on the east coast of the United States. He recently undertook a replacement cost analysis and determined that rebuilding and reconfiguring the data center would cost $20 million.Steve consulted with hurricane experts, data center specialists, and structural engineers and they determined that a typical CAT 3 hurricane that successfully hits the east coast would cause approximately $5 million in damages. The meteorologists determined that Steve's facility lies in an area where they are likely to experience a CAT 3 hurricane once every 10 years.Based upon the information in this scenario, what is the exposure factor for the effect of a CAT 3 hurricane on Steve's data center?The exposure factor is the percentage of the facility that risk managers expect will be damaged if a risk materializes. It is calculated by dividing the amount of damage by the asset value. In this case, that is $5 million in damage divided by the $20 million facility value, or 25 percent.Steve is the risk manager for a company on the east coast of the United States.

The meteorologists determined that Steve's facility lies in an area where they are likely to experience a CAT 3 hurricane once every 10 years.What is the annualized loss expectancy for a hurricane at Steve's data center?The annualized loss expectancy (ALE) is calculated by multiplying the single loss expectancy (SLE) by the annualized rate of occurrence (ARO). In this case the SLE is $5 million and the ARO is .10. Multiplying those numbers together gives you the ALE of $500,00.Earlier this year, the information security team at Jeff's company identified a vulnerability in a server that he is responsible for. He immediately applied the patch and is sure that it installed properly, but after running the vulnerability scanner has continued to incorrectly flag the system as vulnerable because of the version number it is finding even though Jeff is sure the patch is installed.Which of the following options is Jim's best choice to deal with the issue?

• Uninstall and reinstall the patch
• Ask the information security team to flag the system as

patched and not vulnerable.

• Update the version information in the web server's

configuration.

• Review the vulnerability report and use alternate

remediation options.

• Jeff should ask the information security team to flag the issue as resolved if he is

sure the patch was installed. Many vulnerability scanners rely on version information or banner information may flag patched versions if the software provider does not update the information they see.Which NIST special publication covers the assessment of security and privacy controls?NIST SP 800-53A is titled "Assessing Security and Privacy Controls in Federal Information Systems and Organizations: Building Effective Assessment Plans" and covers methods for assessing and measuring controls.Which NIST special publication covers an introduction to computer security?NIST 800-12 is an introduction to computer security
