Selected Answer: B
Security Test and Evaluation (ST&E) occurs in Phase 4 of the DITSCAP process. So, the answer is B. DITSCAP stands for "DoD Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process". It is a formal process used by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to certify and accredit information systems before they are put into operation. The DITSCAP process provides a standard methodology for evaluating the security posture of DoD information systems, ensuring that appropriate security controls are implemented, tested, and validated before an authorization to operate (ATO) is granted.
