Which of the following is a key responsibility for a data steward assigned to manage an enterprise data lake?
Correct Answer: A
Simply put, Data Stewards are responsible for what is stored in a data field, while data custodians are responsible for the technical environment and database structure. Common job titles for data custodians are database administrator (DBA), data modeler and ETL developer.
Question 97
Which of the following biometric parameters are better suited for authentication use over a long period of time?
Correct Answer: A
The iris pattern is considered lifelong. Unique features of the iris are: freckles, rings, rifts, pits, striations, fibers, filaments, furrows, vasculature and coronas. Voice, signature and retina patterns are more likely to change over time, thus are not as suitable for authentication over a long period of time without needing re-enrollment.

Question 98
A scan report returned multiple vulnerabilities affecting several production servers that are mission critical. Attempts to apply the patches in the development environment have caused the servers to crash. What is the BEST course of action?
Correct Answer: C
Compensating Controls do not mean that they are not as-good as original intention and should have been already approved in Change Management, so the manager ought to already know what is at stake if you do not apply the Compensating Control.
Question 99
The addressing mode in a digital computer in which the address location that is specified in the program instructions contains the address of the final desired location is called:
Correct Answer: C
The correct answer is Indirect addressing. *Answer indexed addressing determines the desired memory address by adding the contents of the address defined in the program's instruction to that of an index register. *Implied addressing refers to registers usually contained inside the CPU. *Answer absolute addressing addresses the entire primary memory space.
Question 100
When it comes to magnetic media sanitization, what difference can be made between clearing and purging information?
Correct Answer: B
The removal of information from a storage medium is called sanitization. Different kinds of sanitization provide different levels of protection. A distinction can be made between clearing information (rendering it unrecoverable by a keyboard attack) and purging (rendering it unrecoverable against laboratory attack). There are three general methods of purging media: overwriting, degaussing, and destruction. There should be continuous assurance that sensitive information is protected and not allowed to be placed in a circumstance wherein a possible compromise can occur. There are two primary levels of threat that the protector of information must guard against: keyboard attack (information scavenging through system software capabilities) and laboratory attack (information scavenging through laboratory means). Procedures should be implemented to address these threats before the Automated Information System (AIS) is procured, and the procedures should be continued throughout the life cycle of the AIS.
