Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How do you assess the risk of zero-day vulnerabilities in a defense system during a vulnerability assessment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By evaluating the impact of an unpatched vulnerability and the likelihood of exploitation before detection

By relying solely on vulnerability databases and patch management tools

By focusing only on known vulnerabilities that have patches available

By using automated tools to check for publicly disclosed vulnerabilities

Question 2: When managing risks related to cybersecurity threats in aerospace and defense, what is the best method to quantify the risk exposure of a system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By estimating the time required to detect and mitigate attacks

By calculating the potential loss based on asset value and the likelihood of a successful attack

By estimating the cost of software development for new security tools

By counting the number of security tools in use

Question 3: What is the significance of "Port Scanning" in the context of ethical hacking for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Port scanning targets only software vulnerabilities, not hardware

Port scanning is only relevant for cloud environments, not on-premise systems

Port scanning identifies open ports and services on a system, helping ethical hackers locate vulnerabilities

Port scanning is used solely for identifying network traffic patterns

Question 4: How does "Threat Modeling" assist in risk management for aerospace and defense cybersecurity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It helps identify potential threats, vulnerabilities, and risks, enabling the development of targeted mitigation strategies

It focuses on auditing network logs for identifying suspicious traffic

It eliminates the need for any other risk management activities

It is only useful for identifying internal threats, not external ones

Question 5: 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 6: What is the primary objective of conducting a vulnerability assessment on a critical infrastructure system in a defense environment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To only meet regulatory requirements without assessing the security of critical infrastructure

To identify and mitigate risks to ensure the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the system

To test the performance of the infrastructure without considering security flaws

To install software updates without considering the risk to infrastructure
