Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the role of penetration testing in vulnerability assessment for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It automatically fixes vulnerabilities identified during scanning

It focuses on identifying vulnerabilities without exploiting them

It performs system updates to close any detected gaps

It simulates real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities and assess their potential impact

Question 2: What is the significance of conducting a threat modeling exercise in the risk management process for aerospace and defense networks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It simplifies the network architecture by removing unnecessary components

It helps identify potential attack vectors and system weaknesses before they can be exploited

It automates the patching process to reduce vulnerabilities

It focuses only on hardware-based risks, ignoring software vulnerabilities

Question 3: What is the main purpose of implementing the Diffie-Hellman key exchange protocol in secure defense communications?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To encrypt data at rest using a symmetric key

To perform brute-force decryption on intercepted messages

To compress data before transmitting it over the network

To enable two parties to securely exchange cryptographic keys over an insecure communication channel

Question 4: What is the main advantage of using Kerberos in a military defense network?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To provide strong authentication using symmetric key cryptography

To monitor and log all network activity without authentication

To provide an open-source solution for network security

To encrypt all network traffic using asymmetric key cryptography

Question 5: What is the purpose of a buffer overflow vulnerability, and how can it be exploited in an aerospace defense system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It slows down network traffic by overloading the server with requests

It prevents legitimate users from accessing systems, causing denial-of-service (DoS) attacks

It allows an attacker to overwrite memory and execute arbitrary code, often giving full control of a system

It encrypts sensitive data, making it difficult for hackers to gain unauthorized access

Question 6: What is the purpose of implementing a risk register in defense cybersecurity management?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To document and track identified risks, their assessments, mitigation actions, and outcomes to ensure continuous risk management

To store system configurations without reference to risk or mitigation strategies

To list all systems and assets without linking them to specific risks

To track the number of users accessing the network
