SSCP Online Practice Questions and Answers

Questions 1

Which of the following is related to physical security and is not considered a technical control?

A. Access control Mechanisms

B. Intrusion Detection Systems

C. Firewalls

D. Locks

Show Answer

Correct Answer: D

All of the above are considered technical controls except for locks, which are physical controls.

Administrative, Technical, and Physical Security Controls

Administrative security controls are primarily policies and procedures put into place to define and guide employee actions in dealing with the organization's sensitive information. For example, policy might dictate (and procedures indicate how) that human resources conduct background checks on employees with access to sensitive information. Requiring that information be classified and the process to classify and review information classifications is another example of an administrative control. The organization security awareness program is an administrative control used to make employees cognizant of their security roles and responsibilities. Note that administrative security controls in the form of a policy can be enforced or verified with technical or physical security controls. For instance, security policy may state that computers without antivirus software cannot connect to the network, but a technical control, such as network access control software, will check for antivirus software when a computer tries to attach to the network.

Technical security controls (also called logical controls) are devices, processes, protocols, and other measures used to protect the C.I.A. of sensitive information. Examples include logical access systems, encryptions systems, antivirus systems, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems.

Physical security controls are devices and means to control physical access to sensitive information and to protect the availability of the information. Examples are physical access systems (fences, mantraps, guards), physical intrusion detection systems (motion detector, alarm system), and physical protection systems (sprinklers, backup generator). Administrative and technical controls depend on proper physical security controls being in place. An administrative policy allowing only authorized employees access to the data center do little good without some kind of physical access control.

Questions 2

Computer-generated evidence is considered:

A. Best evidence

B. Second hand evidence

C. Demonstrative evidence

D. Direct evidence

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B

Computer-generated evidence normally falls under the category of hearsay evidence, or second- hand evidence, because it cannot be proven accurate and reliable. Under the U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence, hearsay evidence is generally not admissible in court. Best evidence is original or primary evidence rather than a copy or duplicate of the evidence. It does not apply to computer- generated evidence. Direct evidence is oral testimony by witness. Demonstrative evidence are used to aid the jury (models, illustrations, charts).

Questions 3

In what type of attack does an attacker try, from several encrypted messages, to figure out the key used in the encryption process?

A. Known-plaintext attack

B. Ciphertext-only attack

C. Chosen-Ciphertext attack

D. Plaintext-only attack

Show Answer More Questions

Correct Answer: B

In a ciphertext-only attack, the attacker has the ciphertext of several messages encrypted with the same encryption algorithm. Its goal is to discover the plaintext of the messages by figuring out the key used in the encryption process. In a known-plaintext attack, the attacker has the plaintext and the ciphertext of one or more messages. In a chosen-ciphertext attack, the attacker can chose the ciphertext to be decrypted and has access to the resulting plaintext.
