GIAC GCED Exam - Topic 2 Question 48 Discussion

Actual exam question for GIAC's GCED exam
Question #: 48
Topic #: 2
[All GCED Questions]

Which of the following is an operational security control that is used as a prevention mechanism?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A company needs to classify its information as a key step in valuing it and knowing where to focus its protection.

Rotation of duties and separation of duties are both key elements in reducing the scope of information access and the ability to conceal malicious behavior.

Separation of duties helps minimize ''empire building'' within a company, keeping one individual from controlling a great deal of information, reducing the insider threat.

Security awareness programs can help other employees notice the signs of an insider attack and thus reduce the insider threat.

Detection is a reactive method and only occurs after an attack occurs. Only preventative methods can stop or limit an attack.

Wait, are we really considering labeling as a prevention method? Sounds odd!

Voltage regulators seem more related to power management, so I’m leaning towards labeling of assets as the prevention mechanism.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know operational security controls are important, but I'm not sure I fully understand the difference between prevention, detection, and response mechanisms. I'll have to review my notes on that before answering.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know operational security controls are meant to prevent security incidents, but I'm not sure if labeling of assets, vibration alarms, or voltage regulators would qualify as prevention mechanisms. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'm pretty confident that the answer is B - heat detectors, since they are a common physical security control used to prevent unauthorized access.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Operational security controls are designed to protect against threats, and prevention mechanisms are meant to stop incidents before they happen. Heat detectors seem like the most logical choice here since they can detect potential threats and trigger a response. I'm leaning towards B.

Haha, voltage regulators as an operational security control? I think the exam writer needs to go back to security basics. I'm picking B or C too.
