GIAC GCED Exam - Topic 3 Question 25 Discussion

Posted by Nichelle on Aug 07, 2023 at 01:30 AM

Which statement below is the MOST accurate about insider threat controls?

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.

D seems odd to me; I thought rotation of duties was meant to reduce insider threats, not increase them.

I feel like C could be misleading because while both controls are important, I don't think they can fully prevent insider attacks.

I remember studying how classification of information assets is crucial for protecting sensitive data, so I think A might be correct.

This looks like a question about data persistence mechanisms. I think I know the answer, but I'll double-check my notes to be sure.

I think I know this one - skimming is when you set a high price to quickly recover your costs, right? That sounds like option C to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I think I need to review my notes on IT process management to determine the best approach.
