Question 1

Specific threats to security of proprietary information include all of the following except&#10;A)employees.&#10;B)discarded information-in most states, garbage in Dumpsters can be legally searched.&#10;C)secured telecommunication.&#10;D)acoustical surveillance.

Accepted Answer

The other options, including employees, discarded information, and acoustical surveillance, pose a risk to the security of proprietary information. However, secured telecommunications are not a threat as they are designed to protect communications from interception or eavesdropping. Secured telecommunication is not a threat to security of proprietary information as it involves the use of secure communication channels and encryption to prevent unauthorized access. The other options listed pose potential risks to the security of proprietary information. Employees may intentionally or unintentionally share confidential information. Discarded information in Dumpsters can be searched legally in many states and acoustical surveillance can be used to eavesdrop on conversations and gather confidential information.

Question 2

Telecommunication security information is typically communicated by all of the following except&#10;A)wirelines.&#10;B)microwave links.&#10;C)satellite systems.&#10;D)pipelines.

Accepted Answer

Pipelines do not typically have a role in telecommunication security information communication. Telecommunication security information is not typically communicated through pipelines, as they are used for the transport of liquids and gases.

Question 3

Reaction is the time the computer reactions to any perceived or real attacks on the system.

Accepted Answer

Reaction time refers to the time it takes for a system to respond to an attack, not the time it takes for the system to react to the attack. Reaction time refers to the time taken for a human or computer to respond to a given situation or stimulus. It is not specifically related to attacks on a system.

Question 4

Security measures for computer systems include all of the following except&#10;A)logical controls.&#10;B)physical access controls.&#10;C)administrative controls.&#10;D)protecting against water.

Accepted Answer

Protecting against water is not typically a security measure for computer systems, as it pertains more to physical protection against environmental factors rather than intentional or unintentional security breaches. Logical, physical, and administrative controls are all commonly used security measures for computer systems. Protecting against water is not a typical security measure for computer systems. Logical, physical, and administrative controls are all common ways to protect computer systems from unauthorized access and potential threats.

Question 5

Malicious software or malware is one of the many threats to a computer system.

Accepted Answer

Malware is a type of software specifically designed to harm or exploit any computer system without the owner's (or user's) knowledge or consent. Therefore, it poses a significant threat to computer systems. Malware is a real and serious threat to computer systems. It refers to any program or code that is designed to harm, steal, or otherwise compromise computer systems, networks, or data. Examples of malware include viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, adware, and spyware.

Question 6

The cost of computer crime annually is&#10;A)thousands of dollars.&#10;B)hundreds of thousands of dollars.&#10;C)millions of dollars.&#10;D)hundreds of millions of dollars.

Accepted Answer

According to the FBI, the cost of computer crime in the United States alone was estimated to be over $3.5 billion in losses in 2019. Globally, the cost is estimated to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Therefore, the most accurate choice is D, hundreds of millions of dollars. According to various reports and studies, the cost of computer crime annually is estimated to be in the range of hundreds of millions to even billions of dollars. This includes the costs associated with cyber attacks, data breaches, malware infections, identity theft, and other forms of cybercrime. The exact figures vary depending on the sources and the types of costs considered, but it is clear that computer crime is a significant and growing concern for businesses, organizations, and individuals alike.

Question 7

Security measures for computer systems include all of the following except&#10;A)illogical controls.&#10;B)physical access controls.&#10;C)administrative controls.&#10;D)protecting against fire.

Accepted Answer

All security measures for computer systems should have logical controls to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Illogical controls would not provide effective security measures. Therefore, the only option that is not a standard part of computer security is illogical controls. The other options, including physical access controls, administrative controls, and fire protection, are essential elements of a computer security plan. Illogical controls are not actually a security measure for computer systems. The other options listed are all common security measures.

Question 8

Factors to consider in investigating computer crime include all of the following except&#10;A)investigator's knowledge and whether outside expertise is required.&#10;B)likelihood of victim or an employee being involved.&#10;C)the ease of detecting such crimes.&#10;D)none of the above

Accepted Answer

All other options are factors that should be considered in investigating computer crime, but ease of detection is not always a reliable factor as some computer crimes may go undetected for extended periods of time. All of the other factors listed (investigator's knowledge, the possibility of inside involvement, and the need for outside expertise) are important considerations when investigating computer crime. The ease of detecting such crimes, however, is not a relevant factor. In fact, computer crimes can sometimes be difficult to detect, which is why having knowledgeable investigators and specialized expertise is so important.

Question 9

&#34;A property right in an original work of authorship (including literary, musical, dramatic, choreographic, pictorial, graphic, sculptural and architectural work; motion pictures and other audiovisual works; and sound recordings) fixed in any tangible medium of expression, giving the holder exclusive right to reproduce, adapt, distribute, perform and display the work&#34; Is a definition of:&#10;A)A patent&#10;B)A copyright&#10;C)A trade secret&#10;D)A movie production contract

Accepted Answer

The definition given is of a copyright, which grants exclusive rights to the creator of an original work of authorship. A patent grants the exclusive right to make, use, and sell an invention for a certain period of time, while a trade secret refers to confidential information that a business does not want to disclose to the public. A movie production contract is a legal agreement between the parties involved in the production of a movie. This is the definition of a copyright, as it grants the holder exclusive rights to their original work of authorship in various forms of expression. A patent would be defined as granting exclusive rights to an invention or process, while a trade secret is generally considered to be information that is kept confidential within a company. A movie production contract would be a specific agreement between parties related to the creation of a film, but it is not a general definition of a legal right.

Question 10

Telecommunication security includes information communicated by&#10;A)voice.&#10;B)fax.&#10;C)computer.&#10;D)all of the above

Accepted Answer

Telecommunication security encompasses all forms of communication, including voice, fax, and computer transmissions. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, which includes all of these forms of communication. Telecommunication security includes all forms of information communication, including voice, fax, and computer-based communication. Therefore, the best choice is D.
