Which of the following is a common cyber threat where attackers trick users into revealing sensitive information by posing as a trustworthy entity?
Malware
Phishing
Distributed Denial of Service
SQL Injection
Phishing involves attackers masquerading as legitimate sources to deceive users into divulging credentials or personal data. The other options are different types of cyber threats that do not primarily rely on user deception to gather information.
What does the acronym "2FA" stand for in authentication methods?
Twin Form Authentication
Two File Access
Second Factor Authorization
Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication refers to the use of two distinct credential types to verify a user's identity. None of the other options accurately describe the two-factor concept.
Which of the following practices contributes most to creating a strong password?
Reusing the same password across multiple sites
Using a single dictionary word
Including your birthdate to make it memorable
Using at least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols
Longer passwords using varied character types greatly increase entropy and resistance to brute-force attacks. Including personal data or reusing passwords reduces security by making them more predictable.
What is the primary purpose of encrypting data at rest?
Secure data during transmission
Increase data retrieval speed
Compress data to save storage space
Protect stored data from unauthorized access
Encrypting data at rest protects stored information from unauthorized access if physical storage or backups are compromised. The other options describe encryption in transit, performance optimization, or compression rather than data protection.
Which action is the most effective way to avoid falling victim to a phishing email?
Disable your antivirus software
Reply immediately to urgent requests
Open all attachments to check for malware
Verify the sender's email address and hover over links before clicking
Verifying the sender's address and examining links before clicking helps detect spoofed emails designed for phishing. Opening attachments or replying to urgent requests without validation can expose users to malware or data theft.
What key difference distinguishes symmetric encryption from asymmetric encryption?
Symmetric uses one shared key, while asymmetric uses public and private key pairs
Symmetric uses hash functions, asymmetric uses block ciphers
Symmetric is unbreakable, asymmetric is easily breakable
Symmetric is only used for emails, asymmetric is only used for files
Symmetric encryption relies on a single secret key shared by sender and receiver, while asymmetric encryption uses a matched pair of public and private keys. The other descriptions are incorrect characterizations of the two methods.
Which principle refers to granting users the minimum levels of access - or permissions - needed to perform their job functions?
Principle of Least Privilege
Need to Know
Separation of Duties
Defense in Depth
The Principle of Least Privilege mandates granting users only the access required for their roles, reducing the risk of misuse. The other principles address different security controls.
Which protocol is designed to secure HTTP traffic by using TLS/SSL encryption?
Telnet
HTTPS
FTP
IMAP
HTTPS wraps HTTP communication in TLS/SSL to encrypt data between browser and server. FTP, Telnet, and IMAP do not inherently use TLS/SSL unless reconfigured with secure variants.
Which characteristic is most likely an indicator of a phishing attempt in an email?
A well-formatted letter from a known internal department
An unsolicited message urging immediate action with generic greetings
An internal company newsletter
An email containing only plain text with no links
Phishing emails often arrive unsolicited, use urgent language, and employ generic salutations to pressure recipients. Legitimate internal communications or plain-text notices without requests for action are less suspicious.
Which of the following passwords represents the strongest option?
Summer2021
T8d#4LpQ!vR0
Password123!
CorrectHorseBatteryStaple
A random string with mixed character types maximizes entropy and resists guessing or dictionary attacks. Common words, predictable substitutions, and known phrases are more vulnerable.
What advantage does using a password manager offer?
It replaces the need for two-factor authentication
It encrypts your hard drive
It automatically bypasses login authentication
It generates and securely stores unique passwords for multiple accounts
Password managers create complex, unique passwords and store them securely in an encrypted vault. They do not bypass login processes, encrypt disks, or eliminate multi-factor requirements.
How does Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) differ from Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
MFA is less secure than 2FA
There is no difference
MFA only uses passwords, while 2FA uses biometrics
MFA can require two or more different factors, while 2FA specifically uses exactly two factors
MFA encompasses the use of two or more independent credential types (something you know, have, or are), whereas 2FA specifically mandates exactly two. The other statements are inaccurate.
Which backup strategy is most effective against ransomware attacks?
Backing up only once a year
Keeping backups on the same network share as live data
Maintaining regular offline or off-site backups that ransomware cannot access
Storing backups in an unencrypted format online
Offline or off-site backups remain isolated from ransomware that infects connected systems. Backups on the same network or infrequent, unencrypted copies risk compromise during an attack.
Which internal policy best controls the risk of malware introduction via removable media?
Allow unrestricted use of all USB devices
Encourage employees to share media freely
Require encryption and virus scanning for all removable devices
Disable all antivirus software
Enforcing encryption and antivirus scans on removable media prevents unauthorized access and detects malware. Unrestricted use, disabling defenses, or promoting sharing increases infection risks.
Which sign might indicate a man-in-the-middle attack when browsing a secure website?
Pages load faster than usual
The website layout remains unchanged
A browser warning about an untrusted or invalid SSL certificate
The URL begins with 'https://'
Invalid or untrusted certificate warnings suggest the encryption channel may be intercepted by an attacker. A valid HTTPS prefix alone does not guarantee trust, and layout or speed changes are not reliable indicators.
Which password hashing algorithm is currently considered best practice for secure password storage?
bcrypt
Base64
SHA-1
MD5
bcrypt incorporates a configurable work factor to slow down hash computations, mitigating brute-force attacks. MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for password storage, and Base64 is an encoding scheme, not a secure hash.
In a TLS certificate chain, what ensures that a website's certificate can be trusted by a client's browser?
The certificate uses SHA-256
The website hosts a self-signed certificate
Each intermediate certificate is signed by a trusted root certificate authority
The server's IP address is whitelisted
Browsers trust certificates chained back to a known, trusted root CA through a series of signed intermediates. Using SHA-256 is a hash choice, self-signed certs lack trusted anchors, and IP whitelisting is unrelated to TLS validation.
According to standard incident response procedures, which step should occur immediately after detecting a security incident?
Identification
Recovery
Containment
Eradication
After detection (identification) of an incident, the next critical phase is containment to prevent further damage. Eradication and recovery follow containment to remove threats and restore services.
Which metric provides the most direct measure of employee susceptibility in a phishing simulation?
Total number of spam messages received
Number of emails sent
Average response time to IT tickets
Click-through rate on malicious links in simulated emails
The click-through rate on simulated phishing links shows how many employees engage with malicious content, directly measuring susceptibility. Email volume, ticket response time, and spam counts do not assess user behavior under simulated attacks.
Which of the following is a common security vulnerability in Internet of Things (IoT) devices?
Use of default administrative credentials that are never changed
Implementation of end-to-end encryption
Regular firmware updates
Segregation on a dedicated network
Default administrator credentials are widely exploited by attackers on IoT devices. Proper encryption, timely firmware updates, and network segmentation are protective measures, not vulnerabilities.
