1. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Security baselines will provide the best assurance that each platform meets minimum criteria. Penetration testing will not be as effective and can only be performed periodically. Vendor default settings will not necessarily meet the criteria set by the security policies, while linking policies to an independent standard will not provide assurance that the platforms meet these levels of security.
2. Right Answer: A
Explanation: As owners of the system, user management signoff is the most important. If a system does not meet the needs of the business, then it has not met its primary objective. The needs of network, operations and database management are secondary to the needs of the business.
3. Right Answer: B
Explanation: The best way to ensure that information security policies are followed is to periodically review levels of compliance. Distributing printed copies, advertising an abuse hotline or linking policies to an international standard will not motivate individuals as much as the consequences of being found in noncompliance.Escalating penalties will first require a compliance review.
4. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Data owners are the most knowledgeable of the security needs of the business application for which they are responsible. The system developer, security manager and system custodian will have specific knowledge on limited areas but will not have full knowledge of the business issues that affect the level of security required. The steering committee does not perform at that level of detail on the operation.
5. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Social engineering can be mitigated best through periodic security awareness training for staff members who may be the target of such an attempt. Changing the frequency of password changes, strengthening passwords and checking the number of password resets may be desirable, but they will not be as effective in reducing the likelihood of a social engineering attack.
