Many companies believe that protecting information is a vital strategic requirement. Many companies do not realize that data security is crucial to their survival Computer control problems are often overestimated and overly emphasized by management. Many companies have invested significant resources to protect their assets. The first step of the risk assessment process is generally to estimate the risk probability of negative events occurring. estimate the exposure from negative events. identify the threats that the company currently faces. identify controls to reduce all risk to zero.

This situation best reflects a weakness in which aspect of the control environment, as discussed in the COSO Framework? Risk management philosophy. Methods of assigning authority and responsibility. Integrity and ethical values. Restrict access to assets. According to the Trust Services Framework, the reliability principle of integrity is achieved when the system produces data that is complete, accurate, and valid. is available for operation and use at times set forth by agreement. can be maintained as required without affecting system availability, security, and integrity. is protected against unauthorized physical and logical access. ________ is/are an example of a preventive control. Log analysis Emergency response teams Intrusion detection Encryption. According to the Trust Services Framework, the confidentiality principle of integrity is achieved when the system produces data that is available for operation and use at times set forth by agreement. is protected against unauthorized physical and logical access. is complete, accurate, and valid. can be maintained as required without affecting system availability, security, and integrity. The Trust Services Framework reliability principle that states personal information should be protected from unauthorized disclosure is known as integrity. privacy. availability. security. The Trust Services Framework reliability principle that states access to the system and its data should be controlled and restricted to legitimate users is known as security. integrity. availability. privacy. Which of the following is not one of the three fundamental information security concepts? Security is a management issue, not a technology issue. Information security is a technology issue based on prevention. The idea of defense-in-depth employs multiple layers of controls. The time-based model of security focuses on the relationship between preventive, detective and corrective controls. It was 8:03 A.M. when Mr Thanh, the Network Administrator for FPT Company, was informed that the intrusion detection system had identified an ongoing attempt to breach network security. By the time that Jiao had identified and blocked the attack, the hacker had accessed and downloaded several files from the company's server. Using the notation for the time-based model of security, in this case P > C P > D D > P C > P. In the time-based model of information security, R represents the time it takes for the organization to detect that an attack is in progress. the time it takes to respond to and stop the attack. the time it takes to assess threats and select risk response. the time it takes an attacker to break through the various controls that protect the organization's information assets. The steps that criminals take to trick an unsuspecting employee into granting them access is called scanning and mapping the target. reconnaissance social engineering. research.
