Question 1

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

  • A framework that ensures data is not tampered with during transmission

  • A model focused on ensuring data is encrypted during storage and transfer

  • A strategy for securing user identities and ensuring login processes

  • A fundamental security model that protects Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability of information

Question 2

What is the main purpose of ensuring Confidentiality in cybersecurity?

  • To ensure data is protected from malware and ransomware

  • To guarantee that only authorized individuals can access sensitive data

  • To provide users with the ability to modify and update system settings

  • To secure network resources from being overwhelmed by traffic

Question 3

Which of the following is the most common risk to data integrity in an organization?

  • Data is not encrypted, leading to unauthorized access

  • Unauthorized users intentionally modifying or corrupting data

  • Excessive backup storage creating bottlenecks

  • Delayed software updates causing poor performance

Question 4

How does a Hash Function verify data integrity?

  • By comparing encrypted versions of data

  • By logging every user interaction with the data

  • By generating a unique hash value that changes every time data is modified

  • By measuring the amount of data transmitted over a network

Question 5

Which of these is an effective countermeasure for DoS/DDoS attacks aimed at ensuring Availability?

  • Deploying firewall rules to filter traffic

  • Encrypting data with the latest hashing algorithms

  • Implementing robust VPNs to secure data transmission

  • Regular hardware upgrades to prevent resource exhaustion

Question 6

Which step ensures Authorization is successfully carried out after Authentication?

  • Granting a user specific permissions based on their role

  • Verifying the identity of a user through multi-factor authentication

  • Enabling network firewalls to prevent unauthorized access

  • Encrypting all user data before granting access

Question 7

What distinguishes Authorization from Authentication in a secure system?

  • Authentication is based on access control policies, while Authorization is about verifying identity

  • Authentication is the process of identifying a user, while Authorization controls what resources the user can access

  • Authentication grants access, while Authorization denies access

  • Authentication requires passwords, while Authorization involves fingerprint scanning

Question 8

What is the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP) primarily designed to minimize?

  • The number of system administrators with elevated access

  • The risk of security breaches by minimizing unnecessary access rights

  • The time users spend in accessing sensitive data

  • The number of authentication factors required for access

Question 9

Which of the following would be a physical control in a Defense-in-Depth strategy?

  • Regular software updates to patch security vulnerabilities

  • Implementing firewalls to filter network traffic

  • Biometric scans and access badges to prevent unauthorized entry

  • Using intrusion detection systems to monitor suspicious activity

Question 10

What is the key benefit of Defense-in-Depth in cybersecurity?

  • Relying on a single strong security control to prevent attacks

  • Increasing the complexity of user authentication

  • Layering multiple security measures to minimize the impact of a successful attack

  • Encrypting all internal communications within a network
