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?

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

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

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

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

Random Mixed
Questions are selected randomly from all chosen topics, with a preference for those you haven’t seen before. You may see several questions from the same objective or domain in a row.
Rotate by Objective
Questions cycle through each objective or domain in turn, helping you avoid long streaks of questions from the same area. You may see some repeat questions, but the distribution will be more balanced across topics.

Check or uncheck an objective to set which questions you will receive.
