Cybersecurity - Security Architecture and Design
Which of the following is a correct statement about secure design principles?
AComplexity improves security
BSecurity should be an afterthought
CDesign should minimize attack surface
DAll users should have full access
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand attack surface concept

    Minimizing attack surface means reducing ways attackers can exploit the system.

  2. Step 2: Check other options

    Security as afterthought, complexity, or full access contradict secure design principles.

  3. Final Answer:

    Design should minimize attack surface -> Option C

  4. Quick Check:

    Minimize attack surface = Secure design principle [OK]
Quick Trick: Less attack surface means fewer vulnerabilities [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking complexity equals security
  • Ignoring access controls
  • Delaying security planning
