CYBERSECURITY FUNDAMENTALS (CHAPTER 3)

Which of the following is an example of securing devices as part of infrastructure security?

• Encrypting a USB drive

• Implementing a firewall for the network

• Installing antivirus software on endpoints

• Applying a security baseline to the operating system

Media security primarily involves protecting physical storage devices like hard drives, USBs, and CDs from unauthorized access.

• TRUE

• FALSE

What does securing media involve in terms of infrastructure security?

• Hardening applications
  

• Encrypting storage devices
  

• Monitoring network traffic
  

• Creating a security policy

A security topology refers to the physical layout of devices in a network without considering security elements.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Which of the following is a security topology that provides an added layer of protection by placing certain systems outside the main network but accessible to external users?

• Intrusion detection system (IDS)
  

• Demilitarized zone (DMZ)
  

• Antivirus software
  

• Media encryption

What is the purpose of intrusion detection systems in infrastructure security?

• To block incoming traffic
  

• To detect and report unauthorized access or breaches
  

• To harden applications
  

• To manage security policies

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a proactive system designed to prevent attacks from occurring.

• TRUE

• FALSE

A security baseline refers to:

• Basic security rules for protecting devices
  

• The minimum level of security configurations applied across systems
  

• Tools used to detect intrusions

• The physical security of a building

A security baseline helps ensure that all devices and systems meet a consistent standard of security across the organization.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Application hardening is a process where developers make applications more resistant to attacks by reducing vulnerabilities.

• TRUE

• FALSE
