Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How does "Network Segmentation" improve network security in aerospace and defense environments?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Network segmentation only helps in reducing network congestion

Network segmentation is only relevant for large-scale networks

Network segmentation limits lateral movement within the network, reducing the impact of a potential breach

Network segmentation is primarily used for performance, not security

Question 2: What is the most effective way to report and document vulnerabilities discovered during a penetration test for a defense client?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By providing a detailed, prioritized report with risk levels, technical details, and recommended mitigations

By reporting only critical vulnerabilities without context or recommendations

By documenting vulnerabilities in a general, non-detailed format to simplify reporting

By ignoring minor vulnerabilities to focus on the most severe issues

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: How does ethical hacking help identify potential threats in zero-day vulnerabilities for defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing only on known vulnerabilities with published patches

By testing systems against outdated attack techniques

By simulating real-world attacks that exploit newly discovered vulnerabilities that have no patches or defenses

By waiting until vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed before testing

Question 5: What is the role of "Risk Communication" in the risk management process for cybersecurity in defense organizations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Risk communication focuses on marketing, not on security risks

Risk communication is only necessary for customer-facing reports

Risk communication involves sharing risk information with stakeholders, enabling informed decision-making and appropriate action

Risk communication is irrelevant if the organization has an incident response plan

Question 6: What is the impact of "Third-Party Risk" on risk management decisions in aerospace cybersecurity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Third-party risk is irrelevant if vendors are trusted partners

Third-party risk focuses solely on financial loss, not cybersecurity risks

Third-party risk is only relevant to software vendors, not hardware suppliers

Third-party risk involves evaluating and managing the risks posed by external vendors or contractors who may have access to sensitive systems
