Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) — Question 58

Which of the following security modes of operation involves the highest risk?

Answer options

• A. Compartmented Security Mode
• B. Multilevel Security Mode
• C. System-High Security Mode
• D. Dedicated Security Mode

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Multilevel Security Mode is considered to involve the highest risk because it allows users to access data at different classification levels, increasing the potential for unauthorized access or data leakage. In contrast, the other security modes, such as Compartmented, System-High, and Dedicated, have stricter controls and limitations that help mitigate risk.
