(KEO1) (PKEO) EXAM WITH QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
100% TESTED
1. What is a study of real-world software security initiatives organized so
companies can measure their initiatives and understand how to evolve them
over time?,: Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM)

programs?: Static analysis
3. Which International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard is the
benchmark for information security today?: ISO/IEC 27001.
4. What is the analysis of computer software that is performed by executing
programs on a real or virtual processor in real time?,: Dynamic analysis

cure coding practices and security testing methodologies?: Software security
architect
