Exam 1: Introduction to Information Security

During the early years,information security was a straightforward process composed predominantly of ____________________ security and simple document classification schemes.

Information has redundancy when it is free from mistakes or errors and it has the value that the end user expects._________________________

Of the two approaches to information security implementation,the top-down approach has a higher probability of success._________________________

An information system is the entire set of ____,people,procedures,and networks that make possible the use of information resources in the organization.

____________________ carries the lifeblood of information through an organization.

The history of information security begins with the history of ____________________ security.

The implementation phase is the longest and most expensive phase of the systems development life cycle (SDLC).

Applications systems developed within the framework of the traditional SDLC are designed to anticipate a software attack that requires some degree of application reconstruction.

Using a methodology increases the probability of success.

In an organization,the value of ____________________ of information is especially high when it involves personal information about employees,customers,or patients.

During the ____________________ War,many mainframes were brought online to accomplish more complex and sophisticated tasks so it became necessary to enable the mainframes to communicate via a less cumbersome process than mailing magnetic tapes between computer centers.

Network security focuses on the protection of the details of a particular operation or series of activities.

List and describe the six phases of the security systems development life cycle.

Outline types of data ownership and their respective responsibilities.

Which of the following phases is the longest and most expensive phase of the systems development life cycle?

Hardware is the physical technology that houses and executes the software,stores and transports the data,and provides interfaces for the entry and removal of information from the system._________________________

A computer is the ____ of an attack when it is used to conduct the attack.

The CNSS model of information security evolved from a concept developed by the computer security industry known as the ____________________ triangle.
