ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

Your threat modeling rates the following risks (likelihood × impact scores): SQL injection 4.8, credential brute force 2.8, clear-text cardholder traffic 2.7, log tampering 1.0. Budget permits only one new control this sprint. Which control should be prioritized according to a risk-based security architecture approach?

  • Enforce TLS 1.3 on all payment data paths to eliminate clear-text traffic.

  • Digitally sign and write-protect audit logs to detect tampering.

  • Introduce parameterized queries and strict input validation to mitigate SQL injection.

  • Implement account lockout and adaptive throttling to limit credential brute-force attempts.
