INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
MANAGEMENT EXAM 2026 STUDY GUIDE
QUESTION SET IT STRATEGY INSIGHT
MATERIAL
◉ information secrecy
Answer: The category of computer security that addresses the
protection of data from unauthorized disclosure and confirmation of
data source authenticity
◉ spear phishing
Answer: A phishing expedition where the emails are carefully
designed to target a particular person or organization
◉ vishing (or voice phishing)
Answer: A phone scam that attempts to defraud people by asking
them to call a bogus telephone number to confirm their account
information
◉ intrusion detection software (IDS)
Answer: Features full-time monitoring tools that search for patterns
in network traffic to identify intruders
,◉ content filtering
Answer: Occurs when organizations use software that filters content
to prevent the transmission of unauthorized information
◉ maintenance phase
Answer: In this phase, the organization performs changes,
corrections, additions, and upgrades to ensure the system continues
to meet business goals
◉ prototyping
Answer: An experimental process where design teams implement
ideas into tangible forms from paper to digital; increases the chance
for successful implementation as well as the chance of detecting
errors early on
◉ preventative maintenance
Answer: Makes a system change to reduce the chance of future
system failures
◉ methodology
Answer: A set of policies, procedures, standard processes, practices
tools, and techniques that people apply to TECO management
challenges
, ◉ waterfall methodology
Answer: A sequence of phases in which the output of each phase
becomes the input for the next

the system to ensure it meets the user and business requirement
◉ iterative development
Answer: Consist of a series of tiny projects
◉ agile methodology
Answer: Achieves customer satisfaction through early and continual
delivery of useful software components; developed by an Iterative
process with design points that use the bare minimum requirement
to produce working code or function
◉ rapid application development (RAD)
Answer: Also called rapid prototyping methodology; emphasizes
extensive user involvement in the rapid and evolutionary
construction of a working prototype of a system to accelerate the
system's development process
