Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: 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 2: In the context of network security, what is the role of a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) in defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To use VPNs without further verification on internal devices

To trust internal network traffic without authentication

To require verification for every user, device, and network request regardless of origin, minimizing trust

To rely on perimeter defenses such as firewalls to secure the network

Question 3: What is the purpose of the "Risk Register" in managing cybersecurity risks for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It is a tool for identifying only external threats, not internal ones

It is used to track financial expenditures on cybersecurity projects

It tracks only the actions taken to resolve security incidents, not the risks themselves

It serves as a central repository for documenting identified risks, their severity, and mitigation plans

Question 4: What is the key difference between "Symmetric" and "Asymmetric" encryption protocols in the context of defense cybersecurity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Asymmetric encryption uses a single key, while symmetric uses two

Symmetric encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric uses a pair of keys

Symmetric encryption is faster, but less secure than asymmetric encryption

Symmetric encryption requires more computational resources than asymmetric

Question 5: How does "Network Anomaly Detection" contribute to preventing cyber attacks in aerospace networks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It identifies unusual network behavior that may indicate a cyber attack, allowing for proactive defense measures

It is used to monitor system performance, not security

It is only relevant for identifying internal threats, not external

It only identifies network congestion, not security threats

Question 6: What is the role of a risk appetite in the context of cybersecurity risk management for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It defines the level of risk the organization is willing to accept based on the system's value, importance, and vulnerabilities

It focuses on compliance requirements rather than operational risk levels

It eliminates the need for proactive risk mitigation strategies

It dictates the maximum amount of budget allocated for cybersecurity measures
