Answers
1
You decide not to invest in additional security for a legacy system due to budget constraints. What is this?
Risk avoidance
Risk transference
Risk mitigation
Risk acceptance
2
If an attacker successfully exploits an injection flaw, what could they potentially achieve?
Unauthorized access to sensitive data
System shutdown
Impacted system performance and bandwidth
Increased network bandwidth
3
What is an essential measure for protecting Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems from cyber threats?
Disabling all updates to avoid downtime
Implementing strict access controls and monitoring
Allowing unrestricted external network access
Using default administrator credentials
4
What is a primary benefit of integrating external context awareness into cybersecurity strategies?
Increased vulnerability to social engineering attacks
Higher server availability
Faster incident response times
Reduced need for antivirus software
5
What is Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the context of cybersecurity?
A method of encrypting sensitive data in transit
A protocol used for secure remote access
A technique for exploiting client-side vulnerabilities
An attack where an attacker tricks a server into making malicious requests
6
What is data masking?
A way to improve data processing speed
A technique to encrypt data in transit
To hide sensitive data by replacing it with non-sensitive information
A process of storing data in plain text
7
What is privilege escalation in the context of cybersecurity?
The process of deleting unused security accounts
The process of disabling all security controls
The process of reducing user privileges
The process of gaining additional privileges beyond initial authorization
8
In CVSS, what does a Privileges Required (PR) score of "N" mean?
Exploitation does not require any privileges
Exploitation requires user-level privileges
Exploitation requires administrative privileges
Exploitation requires physical access
9
What is the primary purpose of security baseline scanning in cybersecurity?
To monitor network traffic in real-time
To deploy new software updates
To ensure systems comply with security policies and configuration
To backup critical data
10
What is "passive discovery" in the context of cybersecurity?
Identifying unauthorized access attempts
Monitoring external network boundaries
Analyzing software patch levels
Discovering vulnerabilities in network edges
11
How can vulnerability management contribute to incident response?
By deleting all user accounts
By ignoring security best practices
By providing early detection & mitigation of potential incidents
By increasing software complexity
12
Why is it important to prioritize vulnerabilities in preventative vulnerability management?
To increase system vulnerabilities
To focus resources on mitigating the most critical vulnerability first
To disable all network protocols
To delete all security logs
13
What is the purpose of a patch management policy?
To delay software updates
To monitor all user activities
To prioritize and manage software updates
To encrypt all network traffic
14
Why are true positives critical in cybersecurity incident response?
They reduce incident detection time
They indicate a successful attack
They cause system downtime
They increase workload for security analysts
15
What is a recommended practice by Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) to prevent sensitive data exposure?
Using strong encryption for data at rest and in transit
Implementing simple password policies
Disabling security features
Storing passwords in plain text
16
What is CSRF
?
A type of authentication bypass
Unauthorized commands are executed from a trusted user's session
A technique to bypass firewalls
A method to encrypt data in transit
17
What challenges might organizations face when implementing maintenance windows for vulnerability management?
Time constraints & balancing operational needs with security requirements
Lack of security controls
Increasing network latency
Ignoring security best practices
18
What is "edge discovery" in the context of cybersecurity?
Analyzing software patch levels
Discovering vulnerabilities in network edges
Identifying unauthorized access attempts
Understanding external network boundaries
19
How can security professionals ensure effective integration of IT and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition security?
By understanding the unique requirements and constraints of SCADA systems
By applying the same security policies to both environments
By limiting communication between IT and SCADA teams
By ignoring the differences between IT and SCADA environments
20
What is a primary impact of effective attack surface management?
Reduced attack vectors
Increased vulnerability to social engineering attacks
Higher compliance costs
Slower network performance
