Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the purpose of conducting a patch management assessment in the context of vulnerability management in defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To perform a general audit of user credentials on the network

To monitor network traffic for unauthorized access

To identify unpatched vulnerabilities and ensure all critical systems are up-to-date with security patches

To ensure all firewall rules are correctly configured

Question 2: 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

Question 3: What is the importance of "Continuous Monitoring" in the vulnerability management process for defense organizations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Continuous monitoring detects new vulnerabilities in real-time, enabling timely remediation before exploits occur

Continuous monitoring is unnecessary if patching is done regularly

Continuous monitoring is irrelevant once the system is secured

Continuous monitoring only applies to external systems, not internal networks

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: How does "Scenario-Based Risk Assessment" enhance decision-making in risk management for defense cybersecurity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Scenario-based risk assessment evaluates different potential attack scenarios, helping prioritize defenses and resources

It only focuses on past incidents and does not account for future risks

It focuses solely on compliance rather than operational security risks

It simplifies the process by only considering internal threats

Question 6: What is the main purpose of conducting a "Vulnerability Assessment" in defense cybersecurity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To identify and evaluate security weaknesses in systems and applications, allowing for targeted remediation

To optimize system performance without focusing on security

To assess compliance with industry standards without evaluating threats

To reduce the cost of security measures without compromising safety
