Exam Questions
Q: 1Question 1
In a multi-tenant cloud environment, what approach will secure logical access to assets?
Options
A:Hybrid cloud
B:Transparency/Auditability of administrative access
C:Controlled configuration management (CM)
D:Virtual private cloud (VPC)
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Virtual private cloud (VPC)
Explanation
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a fundamental security approach for achieving logical isolation in a multi-tenant cloud environment. It allows an organization to provision a logically segregated section of a public cloud, creating a private network space. Within this VPC, the organization can define its own IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. This effectively creates a virtual network boundary that isolates the tenant's assets from those of other tenants, even though they may reside on the same physical hardware. This logical segregation is the primary method for securing logical access and preventing cross-tenant data exposure in an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model.

Q: 2Question 2
A company hired an external vendor to perform a penetration test ofa new payroll system. The
company’s internal test team had already performed an in-depth application
and security test of the system and determined that it met security requirements. However, the
external vendor uncovered significant security weaknesses where sensitive
personal data was being sent unencrypted to the tax processing systems. What is the MOST likely
cause of the security issues?
Options
A:Failure to perform interface testing
B:Failure to perform negative testing
C:Inadequate performance testing
D:Inadequate application level testing
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Failure to perform interface testing
Explanation
The vulnerability was discovered in the data transmission between the new payroll system and the external tax processing system. This points to a failure in testing the communication link, or interface, between these two distinct systems. Interface testing is specifically designed to verify that data is exchanged correctly and securely between different software components or systems. The internal team likely focused on the application's internal functions and security, but overlooked the security of the data in transit to an external entity, which is the primary goal of interface testing.

It notes that security testing should "verify that the application properly enforces security for both valid and invalid operations" and that this includes how it communicates with other services. The described scenario is a failure in this specific area.

Q: 3Question 3
Which of the following is the MOST effective method of detecting vulnerabilities in web-based
applications early in the secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)?
Options
A:Web application vulnerability scanning
B:Application fuzzing
C:Code review
D:Penetration testing
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Code review
Explanation
Code review, which includes both manual inspection and automated Static Application Security Testing (SAST), is the most effective method for detecting vulnerabilities early in the SDLC. It is performed during the development/implementation phase directly on the source code before the application is compiled or deployed. This "shift left" approach allows developers to identify and remediate security flaws, such as injection vulnerabilities or improper error handling, at the earliest and least expensive point in the lifecycle. The other options are dynamic testing methods that require a running application, placing them later in the SDLC.

Q: 4Question 4
A malicious user gains access to unprotected directories on a web server. Which of the following is
MOST likely the cause for this information disclosure?
Options
A:Security misconfiguration
B:Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
C:Structured Query Language injection (SQLi)
D:Broken authentication management
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Security misconfiguration
Explanation
Security misconfiguration is the most likely cause. This vulnerability category encompasses failures to implement all appropriate security controls for a server or web application, or the incorrect configuration of those controls. An "unprotected directory" is a classic example, where the web server is misconfigured to allow directory listing or has improper file system permissions, leading to unauthorized access and information disclosure. This is a direct failure in securing the server's configuration, rather than a flaw in application logic or authentication mechanisms.
References

Q: 5Question 5
Which of the following security objectives for industrial control systems (ICS) can be adapted to
securing any Internet of Things (IoT) system?
Options
A:Prevent unauthorized modification of data.
B:Restore the system after an incident.
C:Detect security events and incidents.
D:Protect individual components from exploitation
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Protect individual components from exploitation
Explanation
While all listed options are valid security objectives for both Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and Internet of Things (IoT) systems, protecting individual components is the most foundational and universally adaptable principle. The nature of IoT involves a massive number of distributed, often physically accessible, and resource-constrained devices. The security of the entire IoT ecosystem fundamentally relies on the security of each individual component (the "thing"). If a component is exploited, higher-level objectives like data integrity, system restoration, and event detection are compromised. This principle is directly inherited from ICS security, where protecting individual controllers (e.g., PLCs, RTUs) is a critical objective.

Q: 6Question 6
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) provides users with a higher level of assurance that their data will
remain protected by using which protocol?
Options
A:Secure Shell (SSH)
B:Internet Protocol Security (IPsec)
C:Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
D:Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
Explanation
Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), in its more secure Enterprise mode, implements the IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based network access control. This standard utilizes the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) as its authentication framework. EAP provides a standardized transport for authentication messages between a client device (supplicant), the wireless access point (authenticator), and a central authentication server (e.g., RADIUS). This architecture allows for the use of various strong authentication methods, such as certificates (EAP-TLS) or credentials, providing a significantly higher level of assurance and centralized user management compared to the pre-shared key (PSK) model.

Q: 7Question 7
A software development company has a short timeline in which to deliver a software product. The
software development team decides to use open-source software libraries to reduce the
development time. What concept should software developers consider when using open-source
software libraries?
Options
A:Open source libraries contain known vulnerabilities, and adversaries regularly exploit those
vulnerabilities in the wild.
B:Open source libraries can be used by everyone, and there is a common understanding that the
vulnerabilities in these libraries will not be exploited.
C:Open source libraries are constantly updated, making it unlikely that a vulnerability exists for an
adversary to exploit.
D:Open source libraries contain unknown vulnerabilities, so they should not be used.
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Open source libraries contain known vulnerabilities, and adversaries regularly exploit those
vulnerabilities in the wild.
Explanation
The primary security concern when incorporating open-source software (OSS) is managing the risk of inherited vulnerabilities. OSS components, like any software, can contain flaws. Because these libraries are widely used, a single discovered vulnerability can affect thousands of applications, making them a high-value target for adversaries. Security frameworks like the OWASP Top 10 specifically highlight "Vulnerable and Outdated Components" as a critical risk. Therefore, developers must implement processes, such as Software Composition Analysis (SCA), to identify, track, and remediate known vulnerabilities in the third-party libraries they use.
References
1. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). (2022). Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) Version 1.1: Recommendations for Mitigating the Risk of Software Vulnerabilities (NIST Special Publication 800-218).
Section/Page: Practice PW.5, "Acquire and use only securely developed third-party components." Page 13 states, "A component with known vulnerabilities could be exploited by attackers to compromise the software, so it is important to know which components are used in the software and which vulnerabilities have been identified in those components."
2. OWASP Foundation. (2021). OWASP Top 10:2021.
Section/Page: A06:2021 – Vulnerable and Outdated Components. The document states, "You are likely vulnerable... If you do not know the versions of all components you use (both client-side and server-side). This includes components you directly use as well as nested dependencies... If you do not scan for vulnerabilities regularly and subscribe to security bulletins related to the components you use." This directly supports the idea that known vulnerabilities in components are a major risk.

Section/Page: In discussions on Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) for security, course materials often reference the need to manage dependencies. The principle is that using third-party components, including open-source, means inheriting their security posture. The system's security is dependent on the security of its weakest component, which could be an unpatched open-source library. This is a foundational concept in secure software engineering taught in university curricula.
Q: 8Question 8
According to the (ISC)? ethics canon “act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally," which
order should be used when resolving conflicts?
Options
A:Public safety and duties to principals, individuals, and the profession
B:Individuals, the profession, and public safety and duties to principals
C:Individuals, public safety and duties to principals, and the profession
D:The profession, public safety and duties to principals, and individuals
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Public safety and duties to principals, individuals, and the profession
Explanation
The Preamble to the (ISC)² Code of Ethics establishes a clear order of priority for resolving conflicts among the four canons. The first and most important canon is to "Protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure." This principle, broadly defined as public safety, takes precedence over all other obligations. Duties to principals (employers/clients) and the profession follow in priority. Therefore, when a conflict arises, the professional's primary duty is to the public, followed by their principal, and finally to the profession itself. Option A is the only choice that reflects this mandated hierarchy.
References

Q: 9Question 9
When conducting a remote access session using Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), which Open
Systems Interconnection (OSI) model layer does this connection use?
Options
A:Transport
B:Network
C:Data link
D:Presentation
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Network
Explanation
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a protocol suite designed to secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications. It operates at the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, the same layer as IP itself. IPSec functions by authenticating and/or encrypting each IP packet in a data stream, adding its own security headers (Authentication Header - AH, or Encapsulating Security Payload - ESP) to the original IP packet. This process is transparent to the upper layers (Transport, Application), which are unaware that the underlying communication is being secured at the network level.
References
1. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-77, Guide to IPsec VPNs. Section 2.1, "IPsec Overview," states: "IPsec is a suite of protocols for securing IP communications at the network layer by authenticating and/or encrypting each IP packet in a data stream."
2. Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC 4301, Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol. Section 1.1, "Security Services," states: "IPsec is designed to provide security services at the IP layer, enabling it to protect a variety of higher-level protocols..." The IP layer corresponds to the Network Layer of the OSI model.
3. Kurose, J. F., & Ross, K. W. (2017). Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach (7th ed.). Chapter 8, "Security in Computer Networks," explicitly categorizes IPSec as a network-layer security protocol in Section 8.7, "Network-Layer Security: IPsec and Virtual Private Networks." This is a standard textbook in university computer science curricula.
Q: 10Question 10
Which of the following types of web-based attack is happening when an attacker is able to send a
well-crafted, malicious request to an authenticated user without the user realizing it?
Options
A:ross-Site Scripting (XSS)
B:Cross-Site request forgery (CSRF)
C:Cross injection
D:Broken Authentication And Session Management
Show Answer
Correct Answer:
Cross-Site request forgery (CSRF)
Explanation
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is an attack that tricks an authenticated user's browser into submitting a forged, malicious request to a trusted website. The web application processes this request because it is accompanied by the user's valid session credentials (e.g., cookies), thus performing an action on behalf of the user without their consent or knowledge. The attack's success relies on the user having an active session with the vulnerable application, and the application's inability to distinguish a legitimate request from a forged one initiated by a different site.

Top Tips for CISSP Exam Success
Time Management Strategies During the Exam
Effective time management is crucial for success on the CISSP exam. Consider the following strategies:
Read questions carefully: Take the time to read each question thoroughly and understand what is being asked before selecting an answer.
Flag difficult questions: If you encounter a question that you’re unsure about, flag it and move on. You can return to flagged questions later if time permits.
Pace yourself: Keep an eye on the clock and ensure you’re maintaining a steady pace throughout the exam. Don’t spend too much time on any one question.
Addressing CISSP Exam Anxiety and Stress
Exam anxiety and stress are common challenges faced by CISSP candidates. To manage these feelings, try the following techniques:
Practice relaxation exercises: Deep breathing, meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation can help calm your nerves before and during the exam.
Maintain a positive attitude: Focus on your strengths and the knowledge you’ve gained through your study efforts. Believe in your ability to succeed.
Take care of your physical health: Get plenty of rest, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly leading up to the exam. Physical well-being can have a significant impact on your mental state.
Analyzing Your Practice Exam Results for Improvement
After completing a practice exam, take the time to analyze your results and identify areas for improvement. Consider the following steps:
Review incorrect answers: Understand why you got certain questions wrong and make note of the concepts you need to revisit.
Look for patterns: Are there specific domains or topics that you consistently struggle with? Focus your study efforts on these areas.
Celebrate your successes: Acknowledge the questions you answered correctly and the progress you’ve made in your exam preparation.
By regularly assessing your performance and adjusting your study plan accordingly, you’ll be better prepared to tackle the actual CISSP exam.
The CISSP is a broader certification that covers a wide range of technical and managerial topics, making it well-suited for professionals in various security roles. The CISM, on the other hand, is more focused on information security management and governance, making it ideal for those in leadership positions.
Ultimately, the choice between CISSP and CISM depends on your career goals and the specific responsibilities you aim to take on in your cybersecurity career.

If you face any hurdles in exam preparation, I recommend using Cert Empire exam dumps to help with your prep.
I’d say it was really helpful. Not exactly the same questions but I saw many similar questions, with statements changed a bit, in my exam that were present in these dumps. So I won’t rule using cissp dumps out, it can benefit a lot and everybody must take it before exam. The possibility of these questions appearing in real exam is quite high.
The validity of Cert Empire’s dumps can vary depending on when the exam objectives or content are updated by the certification provider. However Cert Empire tends to update their dumps regularly to reflect any changes in the exam. To ensure the dumps are still valid for your exam, it’s a good idea to check the latest updates or release notes on Cert Empire’s website or contact their support team for confirmation.
Yes, Cert Empire’s CISSP exam dumps typically stay valid until there’s a major update or change in the exam content by (ISC)². They usually update the dumps to reflect any changes in the exam objectives ensuring the material stays relevant and aligned with the latest standards. It’s always a good idea to check for any updates before purchasing or studying to ensure you’re preparing with the most current content.
From my experience Cert Empire’s dumps are generally valid and reliable. They include a comprehensive set of practice questions that reflect the content and structure of the actual exam.
For those who have recently taken/passed the CISSP exam in 2025, are these exam dumps still valid? Did you see these questions (verbatim) on the actual exam?
Yeah, I used the CISSP dumps from here recently, and they were definitely helpful. Some questions were really close to what showed up on the actual exam, and I even got some exact ones. Not everything was verbatim, but it gave me a solid idea of the format and the types of questions to expect. If you’re prepping, they’re worth checking out!
Just ran into this on my ISC2 CISSP practice set and it’s messing with me. The setup was: users are allowed to approve their own access requests to sensitive systems. What’s the actual risk here? It feels wrong, but I want to understand why.
Yeah, that’s a big governance issue. It basically wipes out any separation of duties. If someone can both request and approve, there’s no oversight at all.
I saw this on my test prep too. The root problem is that it violates one of the core principles in CISSP: separation of duties. No checks = high abuse risk.
And it’s not just about abuse—mistakes too. Without a second person reviewing, even unintentional errors go unchecked. That’s where SoD really matters.
They’re connected. SoD ensures you don’t hold too much authority alone. Least privilege limits what access you have. Both reduce risk, but from different angles.
I picked “lack of monitoring” as the issue on my first try. But turns out the bigger concern is the lack of proper approval structure, SoD all the way.

I had a very good experience with certempire, and I highly recommend CISSP aspirants to go through these dumps. However, I’d say nobody can memorize 1400+ questions. You guys need to improve the accuracy and hence reduce the number of questions. All the rest is good.
