WGU Secure Software Design (D487) Exam - Topic 2 Question 7 Discussion

Posted by Lina on Mar 03, 2026 at 06:11 AM

The software security group is conducting a maturity assessment using the Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM). They are currently focused on reviewing attack models created during recently completed initiatives.

Which BSIMM domain is being assessed?

Suggested Answer: C

The Intelligence domain in the Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM) focuses on gathering and using information about software security. This includes understanding the types of attacks that are possible against the software being developed, which is why reviewing attack models falls under this domain. The BSIMM domain of Intelligence involves creating models of potential attacks on software (attack models), analyzing actual attacks that have occurred (attack intelligence), and sharing this information to improve security measures. By reviewing attack models, the software security group is essentially assessing the organization's ability to anticipate and understand potential security threats, which is a key aspect of the Intelligence domain.
