1. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Having the patch tested prior to implementation on critical systems is an absolute prerequisite where availability is a primary concern because deploying patches that could cause a system to fail could be worse than the vulnerability corrected by the patch. It makes no sense to deploy patches on every system. Vulnerable systems should be the only candidate for patching. Patching skills are not required since patches are more often applied via automated tools.
2. Right Answer: C
Explanation: Procedures at the operational level must be developed by or with the involvement of operational units that will use them. This will ensure that they are functional and accurate. End users and legal counsel are normally not involved in procedure development. Audit management generally oversees information security operations but does not get involved at the procedural level.
3. Right Answer: C
Explanation: An information security manager must understand the business needs that motivated the change prior to taking any unilateral action. Following this, all other choices could be correct depending on the priorities set by the business unit.
4. Right Answer: C
Explanation: When security policies are strictly enforced, more resources are initially required, thereby increasing, the total cost of security. There would be less need for frequent modification. Challenges would be rare and the need for compliance reviews would not necessarily be less.
5. Right Answer: A
Explanation: The principal risk focus is the connection procedures to maintain continuity in case of any contingency. Although an information security manager may be interested in the service level agreement (SLA), code escrow is not a concern. A business impact analysis (BIA) refers to contingency planning and not to system access. Third-party certification does not provide any assurance of controls over connectivity to maintain continuity.
