Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is "IPsec" and how does it contribute to securing communications in defense networks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

IPsec is used for controlling access to physical locations, not networks

IPsec ensures data integrity in databases, not network traffic

IPsec is used solely for securing email communications

IPsec provides encryption and authentication for IP network traffic, securing communication across the network

Question 2: In risk management, what is the primary objective of applying mitigation controls to defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To focus solely on compliance without considering operational effectiveness

To eliminate all risks completely, regardless of the cost or impact

To speed up the system implementation by reducing security measures

To reduce the likelihood and impact of identified risks to an acceptable level without compromising the system's functionality

Question 3: In aerospace and defense, how should a Cybersecurity Specialist treat emerging cyber threats?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By continuously monitoring threat intelligence sources, assessing new risks, and updating risk management strategies

By only addressing threats identified by internal teams and not considering external intelligence

By ignoring new threats if they do not impact immediate operations

By reacting to new threats only after they have been exploited in an attack

Question 4: What is the role of "Threat Intelligence" in vulnerability assessments for defense organizations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Threat intelligence is irrelevant during vulnerability scanning

Threat intelligence is useful only for incident response, not vulnerability assessments

Threat intelligence focuses only on identifying external threats, not internal vulnerabilities

Threat intelligence provides context about emerging threats, helping prioritize vulnerabilities based on active exploitation

Question 5: When conducting a vulnerability assessment, what type of testing would provide the most insight into a defense network's security posture?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Only scanning for known vulnerabilities in third-party software

A combination of network, application, and system vulnerability scanning, along with manual penetration testing

Relying on compliance audits alone to evaluate network security

Scanning external services without reviewing internal systems

Question 6: 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
