ISC2 CSSLP Exam - Topic 4 Question 81 Discussion

Posted by Abel on Mar 10, 2024 at 07:30 PM

Which of the following security models dictates that subjects can only access objects through applications?

Suggested Answer: C

The DAA, also known as Authorizing Official, makes the final accreditation decision. The Designated Approving Authority (DAA), in the United

States Department of Defense, is the official with the authority to formally assume responsibility for operating a system at an acceptable level

of risk. The DAA is responsible for implementing system security. The DAA can grant the accreditation and can determine that the system's

risks are not at an acceptable level and the system is not ready to be operational.

Answer D is incorrect. An Information System Security Officer (ISSO) plays the role of a supporter. The responsibilities of an Information

System Security Officer (ISSO) are as follows:

Manages the security of the information system that is slated for Certification & Accreditation (C&A).

Insures the information systems configuration with the agency's information security policy.

Supports the information system owner/information owner for the completion of security-related responsibilities.

Takes part in the formal configuration management process.

Prepares Certification & Accreditation (C&A) packages.

Answer A is incorrect. An Information System Security Engineer (ISSE) plays the role of an advisor. The responsibilities of an

Information System Security Engineer are as follows:

Provides view on the continuous monitoring of the information system.

Provides advice on the impacts of system changes.

Takes part in the configuration management process.

Takes part in the development activities that are required to implement system changes.

Follows approved system changes.

Answer B is incorrect. A Chief Risk Officer (CRO) is also known as Chief Risk Management Officer (CRMO). The Chief Risk Officer or Chief

Risk Management Officer of a corporation is the executive accountable for enabling the efficient and effective governance of significant risks,

and related opportunities, to a business and its various segments. Risks are commonly categorized as strategic, reputational, operational,

financial, or compliance-related. CRO's are accountable to the Executive Committee and The Board for enabling the business to balance risk

and reward. In more complex organizations, they are generally responsible for coordinating the organization's Enterprise Risk Management

(ERM) approach.

I always mix those up, but yeah, Clark-Wilson makes sense!

Nope, definitely Clark-Wilson. It's about integrity through applications.

Wait, are we sure? I thought it was Bell-LaPadula.

Totally agree, Clark-Wilson is all about that application access.

It's the Clark-Wilson model!

I feel like the Clark-Wilson model is the one that specifies using applications for access, but I could be mixing it up with something else.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the Biba model is about integrity, so it can't be the right choice here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember the Bell-LaPadula model focuses more on confidentiality rather than application access.

I think the answer might be the Clark-Wilson model since it emphasizes integrity and requires access through applications.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The security models can be tricky to keep straight. I know the Biba model is about integrity, but I'm not sure if that's the one that requires access through applications. I'll have to review my notes on these models before I can feel confident answering this.
SH

Okay, let me see if I can work this out. The Clark-Wilson model is focused on ensuring the integrity of data, and it does this by requiring that all access to objects goes through verified applications. I think that's the key here. I'll mark that as my answer.
GE

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know the Biba model is about integrity, and the Bell-LaPadula model is about confidentiality, but I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of the Clark-Wilson model. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the Clark-Wilson model is the one that dictates subjects can only access objects through applications. I'm pretty confident about that.

I've got this! The answer is A - Agent ID (AID) and Target Process ID. I remember covering this in the last lecture.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know the XMAS scan is used to detect firewall rules, but I'm not sure how that relates to the port state. Guess I'll have to review my network security concepts.

Haha, the Biba-Clark model? What is this, a security model fusion dance? I'm going with good old Clark-Wilson on this one.

Wait, is this a trick question? I thought the Biba model was all about integrity, not access controls. Maybe I need to brush up on my security models.

I think the Bell-LaPadula model is also important for controlling access levels.

The Biba-Clark model combines elements of both Biba and Clark-Wilson for a comprehensive security approach.

I agree, the Clark-Wilson model is a solid choice for access control.
OZ

But Bell-LaPadula enforces the no read up/no write down policy, which fits the description of subjects accessing objects through applications.
AL
Aliza 2 years ago
Hmm, this one's tricky. I think the Clark-Wilson model is the answer, since it focuses on controlling access through applications rather than direct object access.
