NEW QUESTION # 457
An IS auditor is evaluating the progress of a web-based customer service application development project.
Which of the following would be MOST helpful for this evaluation?
- A. Change management logs
- B. Backlog consumption reports
- C. Critical path analysis reports
- D. Developer status reports
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
A backlog consumption report is a report that shows the amount of work that has been completed and the amount of work that remains to be done in a project. It is a useful tool for measuring the progress and performance of a web-based customer service application development project, as it can indicate whether the project is on track, ahead or behind schedule, and how much effort is required to finish the project. A backlog consumption report can also help identify any issues or risks that may affect the project delivery. Critical path analysis reports, developer status reports and change management logs are also helpful for evaluating a project, but they are not as helpful as a backlog consumption report, as they do not provide a clear picture of the overall project status and completion rate.

NEW QUESTION # 458
In which of the following database model is the data organized into a tree-like structure, implying a single
parent for each record?
- A. Network database model
- B. Hierarchical database model
- C. Object-relational database model
- D. Relational database model
Answer: B
Explanation:
Section: Information System Operations, Maintenance and Support
Explanation/Reference:
In a hierarchical model, data is organized into a tree-like structure, implying a single parent for each record.
A sort field keeps sibling records in a particular order.
For your exam you should know below information about database models:
A database model is a type of data model that determines the logical structure of a database and
fundamentally determines in which manner data can be stored, organized, and manipulated. The most
popular example of a database model is the relational model, which uses a table-based format.
Common logical data models for databases include:
Hierarchical database model
Network model
Relational model
Object-relational database models
Hierarchical database model
In a hierarchical model, data is organized into a tree-like structure, implying a single parent for each record.
A sort field keeps sibling records in a particular order. Hierarchical structures were widely used in the early
mainframe database management systems, such as the Information Management System (IMS) by IBM,
and now describe the structure of XML documents. This structure allows one one-to-many relationship
between two types of data. This structure is very efficient to describe many relationships in the real world;
recipes, table of contents, ordering of paragraphs/verses, any nested and sorted information.
This hierarchy is used as the physical order of records in storage. Record access is done by navigating
through the data structure using pointers combined with sequential accessing. Because of this, the
hierarchical structure is inefficient for certain database operations when a full path (as opposed to upward
link and sort field) is not also included for each record. Such limitations have been compensated for in later
IMS versions by additional logical hierarchies imposed on the base physical hierarchy.
Hierarchical database model
Network database model
The network model expands upon the hierarchical structure, allowing many-to-many relationships in a
tree-like structure that allows multiple parents. It was the most popular before being replaced by the
relational model, and is defined by the CODASYL specification.
The network model organizes data using two fundamental concepts, called records and sets. Records
contain fields (which may be organized hierarchically, as in the programming language COBOL). Sets (not
to be confused with mathematical sets) define one-to-many[disambiguation needed] relationships between
records: one owner, many members. A record may be an owner in any number of sets, and a member in
any number of sets.
A set consists of circular linked lists where one record type, the set owner or parent, appears once in each
circle, and a second record type, the subordinate or child, may appear multiple times in each circle. In this
way a hierarchy may be established between any two record types, e.g., type A is the owner of
B. At the
same time another set may be defined where B is the owner of
A. Thus all the sets comprise a general
directed graph (ownership defines a direction), or network construct. Access to records is either sequential
(usually in each record type) or by navigation in the circular linked lists.
The network model is able to represent redundancy in data more efficiently than in the hierarchical model,
and there can be more than one path from an ancestor node to a descendant. The operations of the
network model are navigational in style: a program maintains a current position, and navigates from one
record to another by following the relationships in which the record participates. Records can also be
located by supplying key values.
Network Database model
Relational database model
In the relational model of a database, all data is represented in terms of tulles, grouped into relations. A
database organized in terms of the relational model is a relational database.
In the relational model, related records are linked together with a "key".
The purpose of the relational model is to provide a declarative method for specifying data and queries:
users directly state what information the database contains and what information they want from it, and let
the database management system software take care of describing data structures for storing the data and
retrieval procedures for answering queries.
Most relational databases use the SQL data definition and query language; these systems implement what
can be regarded as an engineering approximation to the relational model. A table in an SQL database
schema corresponds to a predicate variable; the contents of a table to a relation; key constraints, other
constraints, and SQL queries correspond to predicates. However, SQL databases, including DB2, deviate
from the relational model in many details, and Cod fiercely argued against deviations that compromise the
original principles.
Relational database model
Object-relational database Model
An object-relational database (ORD), or object-relational database management system (ORDBMS), is a
database management system (DBMS) similar to a relational database, but with an object-oriented
database model: objects, classes and inheritance are directly supported in database schemas and in the
query language. In addition, just as with pure relational systems, it supports extension of the data model
with custom data-types and methods.
Example of an object-oriented database model
An object-relational database can be said to provide a middle ground between relational databases and
object-oriented databases (OODBMS). In object-relational databases, the approach is essentially that of
relational databases: the data resides in the database and is manipulated collectively with queries in a
query language; at the other extreme are OODBMSes in which the database is essentially a persistent
object store for software written in an object-oriented programming language, with a programming API for
storing and retrieving objects, and little or no specific support for querying.

NEW QUESTION # 460
Which of the following transmission media is MOST difficult to tap?
- A. Copper cable
- B. Satellite Radio Link
- C. Radio System
- D. Fiber Optics
Answer: D
Explanation:
Section: Information System Operations, Maintenance and Support
Explanation:
Fiber optics cables are used for long distance, hard to splice, not vulnerable to cross talk and difficult to tap.
It supports voice data, image and video.
For your exam you should know below information about transmission media:
Copper Cable
Copper cable is very simple to install and easy to tap. It is used mostly for short distance and supports voice and data.
Copper has been used in electric wiring since the invention of the electromagnet and the telegraph in the
1820s.The invention of the telephone in 1876 created further demand for copper wire as an electrical conductor.
Copper is the electrical conductor in many categories of electrical wiring. Copper wire is used in power generation, power transmission, power distribution, telecommunications, electronics circuitry, and countless types of electrical equipment. Copper and its alloys are also used to make electrical contacts. Electrical wiring in buildings is the most important market for the copper industry. Roughly half of all copper mined is used to manufacture electrical wire and cable conductors.
Copper Cable
Coaxial cable
Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced 'ko.aks), is a type of cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. Many coaxial cables also have an insulating outer sheath or jacket. The term coaxial comes from the inner conductor and the outer shield sharing a geometric axis. Coaxial cable was invented by English engineer and mathematician Oliver Heaviside, who patented the design in 1880.Coaxial cable differs from other shielded cable used for carrying lower-frequency signals, such as audio signals, in that the dimensions of the cable are controlled to give a precise, constant conductor spacing, which is needed for it to function efficiently as a radio frequency transmission line.
Coaxial cable is expensive and does not support many LAN's. It supports data and video.
Coaxial Cable
Fiber optics
An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed. Different types of cable are used for different applications, for example long distance telecommunication, or providing a high-speed data connection between different parts of a building.
Fiber optics used for long distance, hard to splice, not vulnerable to cross talk and difficult to tap. It supports voice data, image and video.
Fiber Optics
Microwave radio system
Microwave transmission refers to the technology of transmitting information or energy by the use of radio waves whose wavelengths are conveniently measured in small numbers of centimeter; these are called microwaves.
Microwaves are widely used for point-to-point communications because their small wavelength allows conveniently-sized antennas to direct them in narrow beams, which can be pointed directly at the receiving antenna. This allows nearby microwave equipment to use the same frequencies without interfering with each other, as lower frequency radio waves do. Another advantage is that the high frequency of microwaves gives the microwave band a very large information-carrying capacity; the microwave band has a bandwidth 30 times that of all the rest of the radio spectrum below it. A disadvantage is that microwaves are limited to line of sight propagation; they cannot pass around hills or mountains as lower frequency radio waves can.
Microwave radio transmission is commonly used in point-to-point communication systems on the surface of the Earth, in satellite communications, and in deep space radio communications. Other parts of the microwave radio band are used for radars, radio navigation systems, sensor systems, and radio astronomy.
Microwave radio systems are carriers for voice data signal, cheap and easy to intercept.
Microwave Radio System
Satellite Radio Link
Satellite radio is a radio service broadcast from satellites primarily to cars, with the signal broadcast nationwide, across a much wider geographical area than terrestrial radio stations. It is available by subscription, mostly commercial free, and offers subscribers more stations and a wider variety of programming options than terrestrial radio.
Satellite radio link uses transponder to send information and easy to intercept.
Radio System
Radio systems are used for short distance, cheap and easy to intercept.
Radio is the radiation (wireless transmission) of electromagnetic signals through the atmosphere or free space.
Information, such as sound, is carried by systematically changing (modulating) some property of the radiated waves, such as their amplitude, frequency, phase, or pulse width. When radio waves strike an electrical conductor, the oscillating fields induce an alternating current in the conductor. The information in the waves can be extracted and transformed back into its original form.
The following answers are incorrect:
Copper Cable- Copper cable is very simple to install and easy to tap. It is used mostly for short distance and supports voice and data.
Radio System - Radio systems are used for short distance, cheap and easy to tap.
Satellite Radio Link - Satellite radio link uses transponder to send information and easy to tap.

A web server is attacked and compromised. Which of the following should be performed FIRST to handle the incident?
- A. Disconnect the web server from the network.
- B. Run the server in a fail-safe mode.
- C. Dump the volatile storage data to a disk.
- D. Shut down the web server.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The first action is to disconnect the web server from the network to contain the damage and prevent more actions by the attacker. Dumping the volatile storage data to a disk may be used at the investigation stage but does not contain an attack in progress. To run the server in a fail-safe mode, the server needs to be shut down. Shutting down the server could potentially erase information that might be needed for a forensic investigation or to develop a strategy to prevent future similar attacks.
