Discuss ISC2 CSSLP Exam Topic 7 Question 93

Fill in the blank with an appropriate security type. applies the internal security policies of the software applications when they are deployed.

AProgrammatic security

Suggested 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.

Not sure if I agree with that answer.

Maurine 11 months ago

Wait, is that really the right term?

Emeline 11 months ago

Yeah, programmatic security makes sense here.

Iesha 11 months ago

I thought it was more about network security.

Kerry 11 months ago

Definitely programmatic security!

Martin 12 months ago

I’m leaning towards programmatic security too, but I wonder if there’s another term that fits better.

Tatum 12 months ago

I feel like this is similar to a question we had on internal controls, but I can't recall the exact terminology.

Fletcher 12 months ago

I remember something about security types in our practice questions, and programmatic security sounds familiar.

Mitsue 1 year ago

I think the answer might be programmatic security, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term.

Casie 1 year ago

I feel pretty good about this one. The question is asking what type of security is applied to software applications when they are deployed, and the answer that fits that description is Programmatic security. That's the security that's built into the applications themselves.

Xochitl 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. Is the answer Programmatic security? I know that has something to do with the security built into the software, but I'm not 100% confident that's the right term for this question.

Walton 1 year ago

I think this is asking about the type of security that is applied to software applications when they are deployed. I'm pretty sure the answer is Programmatic security, since that refers to the internal security policies that are built into the applications.

Filiberto 1 year ago

Okay, for this type of question, I'd first try to think about the different types of security we've covered, like network security, physical security, and application-level security. Since this is asking about security policies within the software itself, I'm going to go with Programmatic security as my answer.

This looks like a straightforward XML schema question. I'll carefully review the options and compare them to the schema to determine the correct one.

Programmatic security? Sounds like the app is the security guard, the judge, and the jury all rolled into one. Let's hope it's not also the executioner.

Hopefully it's not too strict and doesn't end up being the executioner!

It's like having a security guard built into the app to enforce the rules.

Programmatic security is a type of security that applies the internal security policies of software applications when they are deployed.

Kenia 1 year ago

Programmatic security, huh? Guess the software is taking matters into its own hands. Hope it doesn't get a power trip and start banning everything that moves.

Terrilyn 1 year ago

Programmatic security? Sounds like the app is the bouncer at the party. As long as it doesn't start asking for ID from the other software, I'm on board.

Tatum 1 year ago

↳ replying to Terrilyn

It's important to have that extra layer of protection.

Programmatic security applies internal security policies when software is deployed.

I hope it doesn't get too strict with the other applications.

Corinne 1 year ago

Programmatic security is like the bouncer of the software world.

Elouise 1 year ago

Ah, programmatic security. It's like the software equivalent of a security guard who never takes a break. Efficient, but I hope it doesn't fall asleep on the job.

Angella 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elouise

I agree, it's important for maintaining the security of the software.

Aleta 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elouise

Yes, it's like having a security guard that never takes a break.

Gerry 1 year ago

↳ replying to Elouise

Programmatic security applies the internal security policies of the software applications when they are deployed.

Micaela 1 year ago

Programmatic security? That's the one where the app polices itself, right? Pretty clever, but I wonder if it can handle all the security needs out there.

William 1 year ago

↳ replying to Micaela

It's important to assess the security needs of the application and determine if programmatic security is sufficient.

Kati 1 year ago

↳ replying to Micaela

Programmatic security can be effective, but it may not cover all security needs. It depends on the specific requirements.

Vivan 1 year ago

↳ replying to Micaela

Yes, programmatic security is when the application enforces its own security policies.

Antonio 2 years ago

Yes, that makes sense. Programmatic security involves enforcing security policies within the code of the software.

Na 2 years ago

I think the answer is Programmatic security.

What security type applies internal security policies of software applications?
