It is not necessary for the encryption process.

In the Symmetric Encryption process, what does the "Cipher Text" represent?

The encrypted version of the plain text.

The original unencrypted information.

The format in which the key is written.

The process of converting encrypted text into plain text.

What is the primary function of asymmetric encryption as depicted in the diagram?

To convert plain text into cipher text using two different keys

To compress plain text into a smaller format

To verify the authenticity of a digital document

To create a backup of the original data

In the process of asymmetric encryption, what is the role of the public key?

It is used to encrypt the plain text into cipher text

It is used to decrypt the cipher text back into plain text

It is used to generate the secret key

It is used to authenticate the sender

What does the cipher text represent in the context of asymmetric encryption?

The encrypted version of the plain text

The format in which data is stored for efficiency

A digital signature of the document

What is the primary purpose of data integrity in information security?

To confirm data has not been modified in transit

To ensure data is accessible at all times

To encrypt data for secure storage

To speed up data transfer rates

Which algorithm is used to guarantee data integrity by using a secret key?

HMAC Hashed Message Authentication Code

What is the primary purpose of comparing hash digests in the context of data security?

To verify the integrity of data

According to the image, how can hashes be altered?

By changing the hashing algorithm

What does the term "availability" in data security refer to?

The measure of how often data is accessible when needed

The protection of data from unauthorized access

The physical security of data storage devices

What is meant by the term "five nines availability"?

Data is available 99.999% of the time

They are driven by ideological beliefs.

They are primarily motivated by profit.

They are typically government agents.

They operate only within internal systems.

What is described as a vulnerability due to poor practices in user verification and identity confirmation?

Misconfigured system components

Which type of vulnerability arises from errors within the programming code itself?

Vulnerabilities in the source code

Which vulnerability is related to the potential risks from individuals within the organization?

Misconfigured system components

What is a Zero Day Attack in the context of cybersecurity?

Vulnerabilities that have not yet been discovered or disclosed.

An attack that occurs on the same day a vulnerability is disclosed to the public.

A type of malware that self-replicates by copying itself to other programs.

An attack that disables security software on the day of its release.

According to the Zero Day Vulnerability Timeline, what is the first step after a vulnerability is discovered?

Vulnerability disclosed to vendor.

Vulnerability is exploited by attackers.

What does the 'Windows of Vulnerability' in the diagram represent?

The time frame from the discovery of a vulnerability to the release of a fix.

The period when a vulnerability is actively being exploited.

The operating systems affected by zero day attacks.

The duration for which a vendor is aware of the vulnerability.

What does CVE stand for in cybersecurity contexts?

Common Vulnerability and Exposures

Common Vulnerability Enumeration

Critical Vulnerability and Exposure

What is the purpose of the CVSS?

To score the severity of vulnerabilities from 0 to 10

To provide a list of all known viruses

To score the impact of computer viruses

To track the number of security breaches

What is an exploit in the context of cybersecurity?

The act of exposing vulnerabilities, leading to a security breach
