Example questions

Let's look at some sample questions

Which process improvement strategy focuses on continuous, incremental improvement?

LeanSix SigmaKaizenTotal Quality Management
Kaizen is a process improvement strategy that focuses on continuous, incremental improvement of an existing process.

What is the main advantage of using network scanning in asset discovery?

It can identify user accountsIt can identify vulnerabilities in assetsIt can identify hardware assetsIt can identify software assets
The main advantage of using network scanning in asset discovery is that it can identify hardware assets.

What is the purpose of a kill chain in cyber security?

To identify the type of malware usedTo predict future attacks and develop defensesTo map out the stages of a cyber attackTo understand the motives of the attacker
A kill chain in cyber security is used to map out the stages of a cyber attack from initial reconnaissance to exfiltration of data. This helps security professionals to understand the TTPs used by attackers and develop effective defenses.

Which of the following is NOT an element considered in a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)?

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)Recovery Time Objective (RTO)Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD)Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE)
Annual Loss Expectancy (ALE) is not considered in a BIA. ALE is a concept from risk analysis and it's used to measure the financial loss expected from a risk in a year.

Which of the following is NOT a typical requirement for incident reporting?

Time and date of the incidentType of incidentIdentity of the victimColor of the attacker's shirt
The color of the attacker's shirt is not a typical requirement for incident reporting. Incident reporting requires relevant information about the incident itself, not personal details unrelated to the incident.

Which access control model is most suitable for environments with high security requirements?

RBACABACDACMAC
MAC (Mandatory Access Control) is most suitable for environments with high security requirements. In this model, access is strictly controlled by a central authority and users cannot override the access controls.

Which of the following is NOT a key component of a PAM system?

Session managementPassword vaultingUnrestricted access for all usersAccess request management
A key component of a PAM system is not unrestricted access for all users. PAM is designed to restrict and control access, not to provide unrestricted access.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of biometric identity proofing?

It is easily replicatedIt requires the user to be physically presentIt is not unique to each individualIt cannot be changed if compromised
A disadvantage of biometric identity proofing is that it cannot be changed if compromised. Unlike passwords or security questions, biometric data is permanently associated with the user.

What does the principle of least privilege imply in the context of server hardening?

Every program and user should operate using the fewest privileges necessaryEvery user should have admin privilegesEvery program should have full access to the systemNone of the above
The principle of least privilege implies that every program and user should operate using the fewest privileges necessary to complete the task.

What type of vulnerabilities can Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) detect?

Vulnerabilities in the source codeVulnerabilities in the running applicationVulnerabilities in the network infrastructureVulnerabilities in physical security
DAST is designed to detect vulnerabilities in a running application that may not be apparent in the static code. It does not test source code, network infrastructure, or physical security.
