Exam Questions And Answers
How do you turn data into knowledge?
A. These are both names for the same concepts, so no action is required.
B. You use lots of data to observe general ideas and then test those ideas with
more data you observe, until you can finally make broad, general conclusions.
These conclusions are what are called knowledge.
C. You apply data smoothing and machine learning techniques, and the decision
rules this produces are called knowledge.
D. You have to listen to the data to see what it’s telling you, and then you’ll know.
B.
This is the scientific method in action: make observations, ask questions, make
informed guesses, get more data, and see if it fits what you think you've learned thus
far. Repeat until you are highly confident.
Which is more important to a business—its information or its information
technology?
A. Neither, since it is the business logic and business processes that give the
business its competitive advantage.
B. The information is more important, because all that the information technology
does is make the information available to people to make decisions with.
C. The information technology is more important, because without it, none of the
data could be transformed into information for making decisions with.
D. Both are equally important, because in most cases, computers and
communications systems are where the information is gathered, stored, and
made available.
B.
People make decisions based on what they know, what they remember, and what they
observe; that data, information, and knowledge are independent of the paper, books,
computers, or radio waves that brought those observations to them in the first place.
, Options C and D confuse the role of the technologies with the information itself; option A
is a true statement that does not address the actual question.
As the IT security director, Paul does not have anybody looking at systems
monitoring or event logging data. Which set of responsibilities is Paul in violation
of?
A. Due care
B. Due diligence
C. None of the above
D. Both due care and due diligence
B.
The fact that systems monitoring and event data is collected at all indicates that Paul or
his staff determined it was a necessary part of keeping the organization's information
systems secure—they took (due) care of those responsibilities. But by not reviewing the
data to verify proper systems behavior and use, or to look for potential intrusions or
compromises, Paul has not been diligent.
Explain the relationship between confidentiality and privacy, if any.
A. Confidentiality is about keeping information secret so that we retain advantage
or do not come to harm; privacy is about choosing who can enter into one’s life
or property.
B. Confidential information is information that must be kept private, so they really
have similar meanings.
C. Privacy laws allow criminals to hide their actions and intentions from society,
but confidentiality allows for the government to protect defense-related
information from being leaked to enemies.
D. Confidentiality is the freedom to choose with whom you share information;
privacy refers to information that is specifically about individuals’ lives, activities,
or interests.
A.
Keeping information secret means agreeing to limit or control how (or if) that information
can be passed on to others. Privacy is the freedom from intrusion into your own affairs,
