A gambling operator is preparing for a regulatory audit. The compliance team wants to demonstrate that the organization has a structured approach to identifying and mitigating security risks across its systems. Which action best aligns with the purpose of system security testing in this context?

Outsource all security testing to an external vendor and rely on their certification as proof of compliance.

Purchase a commercial vulnerability scanner and run it weekly on all internet-facing systems.

Implement a continuous security testing program that includes regular assessments, risk-based prioritization, and remediation tracking.

Conduct a one-time penetration test before the audit and share the report with the regulator.

A gambling operator is subject to a regulation that requires regular security testing of its systems. The compliance team wants to ensure that the testing covers all critical components and is performed at appropriate intervals. What is the most important factor to consider when defining the testing scope and frequency?

The preferences of the external testing vendor.

The cost of the testing tools and personnel.

The availability of the IT team to support testing.

The specific requirements of the regulation and the risk profile of the systems.

A QA team is testing a new slot machine game that communicates with a central server. They want to verify that the game client does not expose sensitive data in memory or allow manipulation of game outcomes. Which combination of security testing techniques would be most effective?

Penetration testing of the network infrastructure.

Static analysis of the client code and dynamic analysis of the running application.

Network vulnerability scanning of the central server only.

Social engineering tests on the development team.
