Isaca CCOA Exam - Topic 5 Question 2 Discussion

Topic #: 5
[All CCOA Questions]

An organization moving its payment card system into a separate location on its network (or security reasons is an example of network:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The act of moving a payment card system to a separate network location is an example of network segmentation because:

Isolation for Security: Segregates sensitive systems from less secure parts of the network.

PCI DSS Compliance: Payment card data must be isolated to reduce the scope of compliance.

Minimized Attack Surface: Limits exposure in case other parts of the network are compromised.

Enhanced Control: Allows for tailored security measures specific to payment systems.

Other options analysis:

A . Redundancy: Involves having backup systems, not isolating networks.

C . Encryption: Protects data but does not involve network separation.

D . Centricity: Not a recognized concept in network security.

CCOA Official Review Manual, 1st Edition Reference:

Chapter 7: Network Segmentation and Isolation: Emphasizes segmentation for protecting sensitive data.

Chapter 9: PCI Compliance Best Practices: Discusses network segmentation to secure payment card environments.

Really? I thought redundancy was more about backup systems.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about redundancy being related to backup systems, so that doesn't seem right here.

Network segmentation, that's the one! Isolating the payment system makes total sense as a security measure. I'm confident this is the right answer.

Okay, I've got this. Separating the payment card system to a different location on the network is a form of network segmentation, which helps isolate sensitive data and improve security. I'll select that option.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question is asking about the network concept, but the details about the payment card system have me a little confused. Let me re-read it carefully.

This seems like a straightforward network security question. I'll focus on the key details about separating the payment card system and think through the different network concepts.

B for sure. Segregating the payment system from the rest of the network is a smart move to minimize the attack surface. I just hope they remember to update the firewall rules!

Definitely B. Segmentation is the way to go for securing sensitive payment systems. I bet the IT team is really hoping no one spills coffee on the server again!
