Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How does the "Risk Mitigation" strategy differ from "Risk Avoidance" in the context of cybersecurity in aerospace?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Risk mitigation involves reducing the likelihood or impact of a risk, while risk avoidance aims to eliminate risks entirely

Risk avoidance always leads to lower costs, while mitigation increases expenses

Risk mitigation is focused only on IT systems, while risk avoidance applies to physical security

Risk avoidance is the process of ignoring security risks, while mitigation applies security measures

Question 2: What is the role of continuous risk monitoring in managing cybersecurity risks within defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It is unnecessary as long as initial risk assessments have been completed

It focuses on periodic risk assessments and ignores real-time monitoring

It allows for real-time identification of emerging threats, ensuring prompt mitigation and updates to the risk profile

It involves only manual audits of the systems every few months

Question 3: How does the use of reverse engineering support ethical hacking in defense environments?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By launching attacks on the target system without analyzing the underlying code

By bypassing encryption algorithms and decrypting sensitive data

By analyzing software or hardware to identify vulnerabilities and potential exploits in the system's design or implementation

By generating fake software versions to test defenses

Question 4: What is the role of automated vulnerability scanning tools in vulnerability assessments for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To replace manual penetration testing completely

To identify only external vulnerabilities without assessing internal systems

To quickly scan large systems for known vulnerabilities and assist in prioritizing manual testing

To provide superficial assessments without addressing deeper, systemic vulnerabilities

Question 5: How do you detect and exploit Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in a defense network?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By attempting to insert malicious code into databases

By sending out spoofed requests to exploit authentication weaknesses

By exploiting weak encryption protocols to intercept traffic

By injecting malicious scripts into web pages to execute on the client side and steal session data

Question 6: 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
