Question No. 1

Which of the following describes the acceptable amount of data loss measured in time?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) describes the acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. It is the point in time to which data must

be recovered as defined by the organization. The RPO is generally a definition of what an organization determines is an 'acceptable loss' in a

disaster situation. If the RPO of a company is 2 hours and the time it takes to get the data back into production is 5 hours, the RPO is still 2

hours. Based on this RPO the data must be restored to within 2 hours of the disaster.

Answer B is incorrect. The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the duration of time and a service level within which a business process

must be restored after a disaster or disruption in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity. It

includes the time for trying to fix the problem without a recovery, the recovery itself, tests and the communication to the users. Decision time

for user representative is not included. The business continuity timeline usually runs parallel with an incident management timeline and may

start at the same, or different, points.

In accepted business continuity planning methodology, the RTO is established during the Business Impact Analysis (BIA) by the owner of a

process (usually in conjunction with the Business Continuity planner). The RTOs are then presented to senior management for acceptance.

The RTO attaches to the business process and not the resources required to support the process.

Answer D is incorrect. The Recovery Time Actual (RTA) is established during an exercise, actual event, or predetermined based on

recovery methodology the technology support team develops. This is the time frame the technology support takes to deliver the recovered

infrastructure to the business.

Answer C is incorrect. The Recovery Consistency Objective (RCO) is used in Business Continuity Planning in addition to Recovery Point

Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). It applies data consistency objectives to Continuous Data Protection services.

The Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) is a process defined by the United States

Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process), in 2006.

1.System Definition

2.Verification

3.Validation

Question No. 5

An authentication method uses smart cards as well as usernames and passwords for authentication. Which of the following authentication methods is being referred to?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

Multi-factor authentication involves a combination of multiple methods of authentication. For example, an authentication method that uses

smart cards as well as usernames and passwords can be referred to as multi-factor authentication.

Answer B is incorrect. Mutual authentication is a process in which a client process and server are required to prove their identities to

each other before performing any application function. The client and server identities can be verified through a trusted third party and use

shared secrets as in the case of Kerberos v5. The MS-CHAP v2 and EAP-TLS authentication methods support mutual authentication.

Answer A is incorrect. Anonymous authentication is an authentication method used for Internet communication. It provides limited

access to specific public folders and directory information. It is supported by all clients and is used to access unsecured content in public

folders. An administrator must create a user account in IIS to enable the user to connect anonymously.

Answer D is incorrect. Biometrics authentication uses physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, scars, retinal patterns, and other

forms of biophysical qualities to identify a user.
