ICT CyberSecurity Quiz

What is a phishing attack and how can it be prevented?

• Being cautious of unsolicited emails, not clicking on suspicious links, and verifying the authenticity of websites before entering personal information.

• Ignoring all emails and not responding to any online communication

• Entering personal information on any website without checking its authenticity

• Clicking on every link in an email without verifying its source

Explain the importance of malware protection in ICT CyberSecurity.

• It has no impact on protecting sensitive data

• It helps prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and system damage caused by malicious software.

• It increases the risk of cyber attacks

• It slows down the system performance

Discuss the role of network security in protecting against cyber threats.

• Network security helps in protecting against cyber threats by implementing measures such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection systems, and regular security updates.

• Network security is only necessary for large organizations, not for individuals

• Network security only protects against physical threats, not cyber threats

• Network security has no role in protecting against cyber threats

What is data encryption and why is it important in CyberSecurity?

• Data encryption is the process of converting data into a code to make it more vulnerable. It is important in CyberSecurity to make hacking easier.

• Data encryption is the process of converting data into a code to make it easier to share. It is important in CyberSecurity to improve data transfer speed.

• Data encryption is the process of converting data into a code to prevent unauthorized access. It is important in CyberSecurity to protect sensitive information from being accessed by hackers or unauthorized users.

• Data encryption is the process of converting data into a physical form. It is important in CyberSecurity to make data more accessible.

How can social engineering be used to gain unauthorized access to information systems?

• By conducting regular security audits

• By installing antivirus software

• By manipulating individuals to reveal sensitive information or perform actions that compromise security.

• By using strong encryption methods

Explain the significance of having strong cybersecurity policies in an organization.

• Having strong cybersecurity policies helps protect sensitive data, prevent cyber attacks, and ensure compliance with regulations.

• Strong cybersecurity policies make it easier for hackers to access sensitive data

• Cybersecurity policies have no impact on preventing cyber attacks

• Having strong cybersecurity policies increases the risk of data breaches

What is the role of ICTL in CyberSecurity?

• Provides tools, technologies, and strategies to protect digital information and systems from cyber threats

Explain the OSI Model and its relevance in network security.

• The OSI Model is a hardware device that protects against network security threats.

• The OSI Model is a software used for hacking into network systems.

• The OSI Model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven different layers. It is relevant in network security as it helps in understanding how data is transmitted and received, and where security measures can be implemented at each layer.

• The OSI Model is a type of computer virus that can bypass network security measures.

How can Excel be used to enhance CyberSecurity measures?

• By ignoring security updates and patches

• By sharing sensitive information with unauthorized users

• By creating more vulnerabilities in the system

• By tracking and analyzing security incidents, managing access control lists, and generating reports for security audits.
