1. Right Answer: A
Explanation: The information systems security policy developed and approved by an organization's top management is the basis upon which logical access control is designed and developed. Access control lists, password management and systems configuration files are tools for implementing the access controls.
2. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Social engineering is based on the divulgence of private information through dialogues, interviews, inquiries, etc., in which a user may be indiscreet regarding their or someone else's personal data. A sniffer is a computer tool to monitor the traffic in networks. Back doors are computer programs left by hackers to exploit vulnerabilities. Trojan horses are computer programs that pretend to supplant a real program; thus, the functionality of the program is not authorized and is usually malicious in nature.
3. Right Answer: D
Explanation: An audit trail is not effective if the details in it can be amended.
4. Right Answer: A
Explanation: The ability of one individual to capture and verify messages represents an inadequate segregation, since messages can be taken as correct and as if they had already been verified.
5. Right Answer: C
Explanation: Sensitive functions are best described as those that can be performed manually at a tolerable cost for an extended period of time. Critical functions are those that cannot be performed unless they are replaced by identical capabilities and cannot be replaced by manual methods. Vital functions refer to those that can be performed manually but only for a brief period of time; this is associated with lower costs of disruption than critical functions. Noncritical functions may be interrupted for an extended period of time at little or no cost to the company, and require little time or cost to restore.
