CCSP Security Threats & Risk Management 3

Question 1

Which concept describes an adversary's capability, intent, and opportunity to carry out an attack?

Accepted Answer

Threat assessment triad

Answer

A complete threat assessment evaluates three elements together: whether an adversary has the capability, the intent, and the opportunity to conduct an attack.

Question 2

Which screening method is BEST suited for detecting low-density explosive materials concealed in cargo?

Accepted Answer

Explosive Trace Detection (ETD)

Answer

ETD samples chemical residue and can detect trace quantities of explosive compounds that may be invisible to physical inspection or X-ray imaging.

Question 3

A facility's security plan is reviewed and found to have no contingency for a cyberattack on its screening equipment software. This gap represents what type of risk?

Accepted Answer

Unaddressed vulnerability creating systemic risk

Answer

A missing contingency for a known threat scenario is an unaddressed vulnerability that creates systemic operational risk across the facility.

Question 4

In a layered security model for cargo screening, what is the purpose of redundancy?

Accepted Answer

To ensure that if one security layer fails, another layer still detects the threat

Answer

Redundancy ensures that no single point of failure can allow a threat to pass undetected by providing backup detection layers.

Question 5

Which of the following is an example of a passive security measure in a cargo screening facility?

Accepted Answer

Perimeter fencing and access control barriers

Answer

Perimeter fencing and barriers are passive measures because they deter and delay threats without requiring active human intervention.
