Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, C

The Certification and Accreditation (C&A) process consists of four distinct phases:

1.Initiation

2.Security Certification

3.Security Accreditation

4.Continuous Monitoring

The C&A activities can be applied to an information system at appropriate phases in the system

development life cycle by selectively tailoring

the various tasks and subtasks.

Answer options A and D are incorrect. Auditing and detection are not phases of the Certification and

Accreditation process.

I thought Detection was a phase, but maybe not?

I remember "Initiation" for sure, but I can't recall if "Detection" is a phase or just a part of the overall process.

I’m a bit confused; I thought "Auditing" was part of the process, but now I’m not so sure if it’s one of the main phases.

I feel like "Continuous Monitoring" was mentioned in a practice question we did, so that might be one of the answers too.

I think I remember that "Initiation" is definitely one of the phases, but I'm not sure about the second one.

I'm a little confused by the different storage account types. I'll need to research the differences between general-purpose, blob, and file storage to determine which one would be most appropriate for boot diagnostics.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know Azure has a lot of cloud services, but I'm not certain if video conferencing is one of them. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Based on the options provided, "Process Evaluation" seems like the most relevant choice for how senior leaders can oversee decisions around developing resilience in a program.

Ah, a classic cryptanalysis question. I remember learning about "rubber-hose" attacks in one of my security courses. I'm confident the answer is B - it's all about physically coercing the information out of someone.
