Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: In ethical hacking, why is "Social Engineering" considered a critical attack vector in defense networks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Social engineering is only relevant for financial sectors

Social engineering exploits human vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to systems or information

Social engineering only targets public websites, not internal systems

Social engineering is irrelevant in high-security defense environments

Question 2: What is the impact of "Third-Party Risk" on risk management decisions in aerospace cybersecurity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Third-party risk is irrelevant if vendors are trusted partners

Third-party risk focuses solely on financial loss, not cybersecurity risks

Third-party risk is only relevant to software vendors, not hardware suppliers

Third-party risk involves evaluating and managing the risks posed by external vendors or contractors who may have access to sensitive systems

Question 3: How does threat modeling contribute to risk management in cybersecurity for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It minimizes threat detection to save time and resources

It helps identify potential threats to system assets, assess vulnerabilities, and design mitigation strategies

It focuses solely on identifying known vulnerabilities without considering potential new threats

It relies on outdated intelligence sources to predict future threats

Question 4: What is the purpose of an asset inventory in the vulnerability assessment process for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It simplifies risk management by tracking assets over time

It speeds up the testing process by focusing on only critical assets

It helps to identify all critical assets to ensure comprehensive scanning and prioritization of vulnerabilities

It reduces the scope of assessment by limiting the devices scanned

Question 5: How does the "Kerberos" authentication protocol work in securing network resources in defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Kerberos encrypts data but does not authenticate users or services

Kerberos focuses on physical security, not digital access

Kerberos uses tickets to securely authenticate users and services, reducing the risk of unauthorized access

Kerberos is irrelevant when using SSL/TLS for secure communications

Question 6: What is the role of "Data Loss Prevention" (DLP) in maintaining security within defense networks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

DLP focuses solely on file encryption and not on network security

DLP is irrelevant when using secure VPNs for communication

DLP only applies to email systems, not other data channels

DLP prevents unauthorized data transfer or leakage, ensuring that sensitive information does not leave the network
