Chapter 7 part 1, Security Management Concepts and Principles

1- …….. are small mall standalone programs that are part of a larger application.
a- Agents
b- Web application
c- Applets
d- Client server

2- Agents carry out specific functions, such as remote status collection or remote
system management.
a- True
b- False

3- Some examples of agents include ……….

a- Anti-virus
b- Patch management
c- Configuration management
d- All of the above

4- You could consider the anti-virus program on a workstation or server as an agent

in an enterprise environment that includes a central management console.
a- True
b- False

5- An agent on each server periodically queries the OS on the existence of software

patches, and will install patches when commanded to do so from the central
patch management server
a- True
b- False

6- A central server tracks and manages the OS configuration of each server and
workstation by communicating to agents on those managed systems
a- True
b- False

7- With configuration management, agents will collect configuration information and

pass it back to central servers
a- True
b- False
8- ………… is a software program that runs within context of another program
a- Applets
b- Agents
c- Client server
d- Web applications

9- An applets perform a narrow function

a- True
b- False

10- The most common use of applets is ……..

a- Mobile applications
b- Web browser s
c- Client server
d- Servers

11- The software components in client-server is centralized

a- True
b- False

12- Client and server usually communicates via networks

a- True
b- False

13- Server software is the part of the application used by humans, and primarily
contains user interface logic that displays instructions and data, accepts input
data from a keyboard or other device, and accepts instructions or directives from
users.
a- True
b- False

14- In typical client-server applications, the server component performs database

updates and communicates with clients. Server components typically do not have
user interface logic but instead run as daemons or services.
a- True
b- False
15- ……… have software components running on several separate systems in a
wide variety of architecture including two-tier, three-tier, and multi-tier.
a- Web servers
b- Agents
c- Distributed applications
d- Web browser

16- The browser becomes the client software, which works with all of the enterprise’s
web applications, that is known as ………
a- Thinner clients
b- Better network performance
c- Lower of cost ownerships
d- None of the mentioned

17- The lower cost of ownership is responsible for making sure that workstations
have a reasonably current version of a web browser.
a- True
b- False

18- Web applications provide some significant advances over client server like:
a- Thinner clients
b- Better network performance
c- Lower cost
d- More terminal types supported.
e- Any user can access the applications.
f- All of the above

19- A …….. defines the characteristics of an object, including its characteristics such
as attributes, properties and fields, plus the methods it can perform.
a- Class
b- Method
c- Object
d- None

20- A ……….. defines the abilities that an object can perform. It may contain
instructions, as well as input variables and output variables.
a- Class
b- Method
c- Object
d- None
21- ……………. Are applications that are used to make predictions or decisions
based upon input data
a- Knowledge-based systems
b- Neural network
c- Expert system
d- None

22- ………… consists of interconnected artificial neurons that store pieces of

information about a particular problem.
a- Knowledge-based systems
b- Neural network
c- Expert system
d- None

23- …….. accumulate knowledge on a particular subject, including conditions and

outcomes.
a- Knowledge-based systems
b- Neural network
c- Expert system
d- None
