Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the importance of "Continuous Monitoring" in the vulnerability management process for defense organizations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Continuous monitoring detects new vulnerabilities in real-time, enabling timely remediation before exploits occur

Continuous monitoring is unnecessary if patching is done regularly

Continuous monitoring is irrelevant once the system is secured

Continuous monitoring only applies to external systems, not internal networks

Question 2: What is the role of "Risk Communication" in the risk management process for cybersecurity in defense organizations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Risk communication focuses on marketing, not on security risks

Risk communication is only necessary for customer-facing reports

Risk communication involves sharing risk information with stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making and appropriate action

Risk communication is irrelevant if the organization has an incident response plan

Question 3: What is the role of "Endpoint Detection and Response" (EDR) in enhancing network security in defense networks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

EDR is used primarily for device performance monitoring, not security

EDR provides real-time monitoring and response capabilities at the endpoints, helping detect and stop threats before they spread

EDR is unnecessary if the network has sufficient perimeter defense

EDR only works for software endpoints, not hardware

Question 4: How does "Social Engineering" affect network security during an ethical hacking engagement in defense?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Social engineering only affects user credentials, not network security

Social engineering is limited to phishing emails and does not affect physical security

Social engineering is irrelevant for defense contractors with strong policies

Social engineering manipulates individuals to gain access to secure networks, bypassing technical controls

Question 5: In securing a defense network, what is the main advantage of using a certificate authority (CA) for public key infrastructure (PKI)?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To issue digital certificates that authenticate the identity of users and devices, enabling secure communications

To perform real-time scanning of network traffic for malware

To monitor physical access to network hardware

To implement symmetric encryption for faster communication

Question 6: How does the SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) enhance the security of file transfers in defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By compressing data for faster transfers

By encrypting the data being transferred, ensuring both confidentiality and integrity during the transfer process

By allowing files to be transferred without any authentication checks

By using unsecured channels to increase speed and efficiency
