CISSP Domain 5 quiz: Types of access control systems
Get ready for the CISSP exam with this 10-question practice quiz covering key concepts in Domain 5, including access control, identity, authentication and more.
Deciding whom you let in -- and, more importantly, whom you keep out -- is at the core of every enterprise security strategy. When it comes to granting, restricting or denying access to resources, infosec professionals must understand how to use different types of access control systems that manage identification, authentication and authorization of both people and devices.
These are some of the key principles covered in Domain 5 of the CISSP exam -- Identity and Access Management -- which means test-takers need to be prepared to answer questions about types of access control systems and methods. From multifactor authentication to cloud-based identity services, CISSP candidates should have a working knowledge of the various ways to prevent the bad guys -- or even just the good-but-unauthorized ones -- from accessing enterprise assets.
Test your knowledge in these areas with 10 multiple-choice questions about some different types of access control systems, authorization mechanisms and identity services covered in Domain 5.
