Ransomware attacks are surging at an alarming rate - a Scottish non-profit recently reported a 100% increase year-over-year, with fraud cases expected to exceed $33 million. Even more concerning, businesses report feeling less resilient against these threats than in previous years. As cybersecurity professionals, we have a responsibility to help organizations understand and mitigate these risks before they become existential threats.
Today's CISSP Question Thursday dives deep into Domain 5 concepts that directly address these challenges. We explore fifteen carefully crafted practice questions covering user account provisioning, deprovisioning, the principle of least privilege, Privileged Access Management (PAM), and identity governance. Each question targets critical knowledge areas you'll need to master for exam success while providing practical insights you can immediately apply to strengthen organizational security postures.
The practice questions reveal important security principles: collecting user information must precede role assignment in the provisioning process; deprovisioning should occur immediately upon employment termination; personal preferences should never determine access rights; and PAM tools are essential for securing privileged accounts. We also examine why multi-factor authentication enhances security through multiple verification forms while Single Sign-On improves user experience by simplifying authentication processes.
