, Chapter 1 True/False Answers/Explanations

1. True—Confidentiality, integrity, and availability (known as CIA or the CIA
triad) are the three core principles for information security. Another principle
within information security is accountability.

2. False—A system can never truly be completely secure. The scales are
always tipping back and forth; a hacker develops a way to break into a
system, then an administrator finds a way to block that attack, and then the
hacker looks for an alternative method. It goes on and on; be ready to wage
the eternal battle!

3. True—Blue hats are individuals asked by an organization to attempt to
hack into a system who are not employed by the organization. Blue hats are
M

often used when testing systems.
ED

4. True—To protect against threats such as malware, social engineering, and
so on, an IT person can implement encryption, authentication, anti-malware,
and user awareness.
CO

5. False—Social engineering is the act of manipulating users into revealing
confidential information.
