Cybersecurity Quiz

 What solution is recommended to address the risk posed by outdated software and systems?

 

• Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA)

• Encourage the use of weak passwords

• Regularly update and patch software

• Increase user access privileges

The main difference between an IDS and an IPS is:

• An IDS detects and prevents attacks, whereas an IPS only detects attacks

• An IDS encrypts data, whereas an IPS does not

• An IPS can take actions to prevent threats, whereas an IDS only monitors and alerts

• An IPS is software-based, while an IDS is hardware-based

Which risk management strategy involves shifting the responsibility of a risk to a third party?

• Risk avoidance

• Risk sharing (transfer)

• Risk acceptance

• Risk reduction (mitigation)

What does encryption protect?

• Physical access to computer hardware

• The identity of the user

• The network from all forms of cyber attacks

• Data Privacy by making it unreadable without the correct key.

Which principle aims to limit user access to only the necessary permissions for their roles?

 

• Defense in Depth

• The CIA Triad

• Non-repudiation

• The Principle of Least Privilege

What is the primary goal of cybersecurity?

• To promote software sales

• To increase internet speed

• To protect digital assets and information from cyber threats

• To ensure the fastest data transmission

Which of the following best describes the CIA Triad in cybersecurity?

• Confidentiality, Integrity, and Accessibility

• Confidentiality, Internet, and Authentication

• Confidentiality, Insurance, and Accountability

• Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability

Which risk management strategy involves implementing measures to lessen the likelihood and/or impact of a risk?

• Risk avoidance

• Risk sharing (transfer)

• Risk reduction (mitigation)

• Risk acceptance

What is a firewall used for in cybersecurity?

• To monitor and control physical access to buildings

• To start fires in compromised systems as a deterrent

• To monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules

• To automatically update software across the network

Multifactor Authentication (MFA) enhances security by:

• Allowing users to choose any form of identity verification they prefer

• Using only biometric verification for all users

• Using a single, complex password

• Requiring multiple methods of authentication from different categories of credentials
