ISC2 SSCP Exam - Topic 2 Question 76 Discussion

Posted by Alishia on Oct 09, 2023 at 03:56 AM

Technical controls such as encryption and access control can be built into the operating system, be software applications, or can be supplemental hardware/software units. Such controls, also known as logical controls, represent which pairing?

Suggested Answer: C

JAVA was developed so that the same program could be executed on multiple hardware and operating system platforms, it is not Architecture Specific.

The following answers are incorrect:

Object-oriented. Is not correct because JAVA is object-oriented. It should use the object-oriented programming methodology.

Distributed. Is incorrect because JAVA was developed to be able to be distrubuted, run on multiple computer systems over a network.

Multithreaded. Is incorrect because JAVA is multi-threaded that is calls to subroutines as is the case with object-oriented programming.

A virus is a program that can replicate itself on a system but not necessarily spread itself by network connections.

Agreed, B makes the most sense here!

Wait, are we sure about that? Sounds too simple.

Pretty sure it's B, can't be anything else.

I thought it was more about Administrative controls.
ME

Definitely a Preventive/Technical Pairing!

I vaguely recall that logical controls like access control are definitely technical, but I can't remember if they are strictly preventive or if they also have a detective aspect.
KA

I’m a bit confused because I thought preventive controls were more about policies and procedures, which might make me think of the Administrative Pairing instead.
PA

I think I practiced a question similar to this, and it was about how encryption is a technical control. So, I’m leaning towards the Preventive/Technical Pairing.

I remember studying that technical controls are usually categorized as preventive measures, but I'm not sure if they fit into the administrative or technical pairing.

I think the key here is recognizing that technical controls like encryption and access control are preventive in nature, not detective. So the correct pairing has to be preventive, which leaves me with B as the best answer.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Are the technical controls themselves the pairing, or are they just examples of the pairing? I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I'm understanding it correctly.

Okay, let me break this down. Technical controls like encryption and access control are preventive in nature, so the pairing has to be preventive. And since they are built into the system, software, or hardware, the pairing is with technical controls. I'll go with B.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think it through carefully to make sure I understand the difference between the control types.
JA

This question seems straightforward. I'm pretty confident the answer is B, Preventive/Technical Pairing.
DO

Okay, the key information here is that the Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR is configured with a local preference of 250, and it receives a BGP update with a local preference of 500. I think the answer is C, 500.
JO

The key is thinking about who might need to review or understand the investigation details later. Seems like option D covers all bases.
MA

I remember studying tenancies, but I'm a bit shaky on which one applies here. I think "B" sounds familiar, though.
PA

I think the key here is to reduce the behavior without reinforcing it. So maybe stopping the provision or removal of items could lead to extinction?
RA

I'm going to have to agree with the rest of the group on this one. B is the way to go. Although I do wonder if the exam writers have a sense of humor - maybe they're testing our ability to spot a trick question too!

Hah, I bet the exam writers thought they could trick us with those answer choices. But B is the clear winner here, no doubt about it.

I'm not sure, but I think it makes sense that logical controls would fall under Preventive/Technical Pairing.

I was torn between B and D, but I think B makes the most sense. These controls are meant to proactively stop threats, not just identify them.

Yes, that's correct. Preventive controls like encryption and access control are meant to prevent security incidents.

I agree, B does make the most sense. Preventive/Technical Pairing focuses on stopping threats before they happen.

Definitely going with B) Preventive/Technical Pairing. Those encryption and access controls are all about preventing unauthorized access, not just detecting it.
