Answers

1
What role does circuit aspect play in the cyber domain?
It identifies digital identities
It carries data between systems
It stores long-term memory and files
It determines user access roles
2
Which cybersecurity pillar ensures timely, reliable access to systems by authorized users?
Integrity
Availability
Confidentiality
Non-repudiation
3
What defines the interface aspect of cyberspace?
The screen resolution and CPU power of a device
The cables and satellites that route traffic
The central command systems managing secure gateways
The devices and tools people use to input information
4
Which of the following best represents the DoD's cybersecurity philosophy?
Isolate OT from IT at all costs
Restrict all device access to minimize risk
Focus exclusively on perimeter security
Information dominance equals mission dominance
5
What is a major risk of increased networking between IT and OT systems?
Radio signals cannot be transmitted securely
Personnel are unable to use real-time data
Software updates no longer function across platforms
Vulnerabilities can move from digital systems into physical systems
6
Which DoD strategic goal emphasizes interagency and allied cooperation to counter cyber threats?
Build and Maintain Robust International Alliances and Partnerships
Build and Maintain Ready Forces
Provide Strategic Redundancy Across Domains
Defend the DoD Information Network
7
Which of the following is an example of pre-emplacement of capabilities?
Implanting a time-triggered logic bomb in a radar system
Disabling a router during an exercise
Monitoring social media for sentiment
Using Shodan to identify open ports
8
What does the geographic aspect refer to in the cyber domain?
The physical location of systems, users, and data paths
The nation of origin for malware
The language preferences in an operating system
The default time zone of a given server
9
What is the logic aspect of the cyber domain?
The set of physical devices used to input commands
The software code and stored data that run and define systems
The biometric access layer for users
The electrical circuits connecting networked devices
10
In the DoD cyber security model, why is protecting just devices insufficient?
Devices cannot be secured without optical encryption
Only physical locations are critical to defense
Most attacks target personnel rather than hardware
The entire data flow storage, transmission, and processing must be secured
11
Why is the persona aspect of cyberspace complex?
A single person can present as multiple digital identities
It refers to hardware used by users
It represents only the administrator-level users
It deals exclusively with usernames and passwords
12
Which of the following best aligns with the definition of a military cyber operation?
Operating GPS navigation systems for fleet positioning
Infiltrating an adversary’s server to implant malware during conflict
Uploading training videos to a secure DoD portal
Sending encrypted emails for logistics coordination
13
What makes the cyber domain nonlinear compared to traditional communication systems?
It excludes physical or geographic influences
It follows a simple top-down layered architecture
It is limited to server-client models
All aspects can interact unpredictably and non-sequentially
14
What strategic risk does the Internet of Things (IoT) introduce?
It enhances only logistics operations
It limits the reach of traditional signals intelligence
Each connected device expands the potential attack surface
It removes the need for physical surveillance
15
What is an example of foreign intelligence acquisition in cyberspace?
Long-term access to a foreign defense ministry’s network
Conducting a GPS jamming exercise
Infiltrating a weapons cache
Digitizing mission planning graphics
16
What best describes a supply chain compromise in cyber operations?
Inserting malicious firmware during manufacturing or updates

Disabling comms via a malware payload
18
What’s a consequence of poor authentication in cyberspace?
Voice communications will become garbled
Attackers can pose as legitimate users or systems
Navigation systems will desync
Servers will shut down automatically
19
What is a good analogy for the services vs. security tradeoff?
A building with no windows is secure but unusable
A GPS signal that relays over two frequencies
A satellite uplink that only transmits data
A firewall that scans traffic every five minutes
20
What does the non-repudiation pillar ensure?
That no malware enters the system
That data remains unmodified during transmission
That an action can be traced back to its originating individual or entity
That only authenticated users can access classified systems
