C: A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer or network resource unavailable to its intended users. One common method of attack involves saturating the target machine with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate traffic, or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable.

D: The FTP bounce attack is attack which slips past application-based firewalls. In this hacker uploads a file to the FTP server and then requests this file be sent to an internal server.

QUESTION: 151

Which of the following is true for risk evaluation?

Risk evaluation is done only when there is significant change.
Risk evaluation is done once a year for every business processes.
Risk evaluation is done annually or when there is significant change.
Risk evaluation is done every four to six months for critical business processes.

Answer(s): C

B: Evaluating risk once a year is not sufficient in the case when some significant change takes place. This significant change should be taken into account as it affects the overall risk.

D: Risk evaluation need not to be done every four to six months for critical processes, as it does not address important changes in timely manner.
