4
What does the “C” in the CIA triad stand for?
Confidentiality
Cyber Security
Consistency
Control
5
What is the primary purpose of "Blockchain" in cybersecurity?
To enhance password encryption algorithms
To replace all traditional security measures
To act as a firewall for network security
To provide tamper-proof ledger for transactions
6
Which of the following is a common characteristic of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs)?
They involve prolonged, stealthy attacks aimed at stealing sensitive data
They target individuals rather than organizations
They are short-term attacks that cause immediate disruption
They rely solely on ransomware to achieve their objectives
7
What is the purpose of a "sandbox" in system security?
To isolate and safely analyze suspicious files or programs
