Cyber Security Operations Quiz

What is the primary goal of Incident Response in cyber security operations?

• Minimize damage and restore normal operations

• Ignore incident severity

• Delay response time

• Increase vulnerability exposure

Explain the concept of Network Security and its importance in protecting an organization's assets.

• Network security is not necessary for protecting an organization's assets

• Implementing network security policies can lead to data breaches

• Network security is essential for protecting an organization's assets by ensuring data confidentiality, integrity, and availability through the implementation of various technologies, policies, and procedures.

• Data confidentiality is not a concern in network security

How does Threat Intelligence help in enhancing the security posture of an organization?

• Threat Intelligence helps in enhancing the security posture of an organization by offering cooking recipes

• Threat Intelligence helps in enhancing the security posture of an organization by organizing team-building activities

• Threat Intelligence helps in enhancing the security posture of an organization by providing insights into potential threats, vulnerabilities, and proactive mitigation strategies.

• Threat Intelligence helps in enhancing the security posture of an organization by providing weather forecasts

What is the role of Security Monitoring in detecting and preventing cyber threats?

• Security Monitoring helps in detecting and preventing cyber threats by continuously monitoring network traffic, system logs, and other security-related events to identify suspicious activities and anomalies.

• Security Monitoring is only useful after a cyber attack has occurred

• Security Monitoring only focuses on physical security

• Security Monitoring has no impact on cyber threats

Discuss the importance of Vulnerability Management in maintaining a secure network infrastructure.

• Vulnerability Management helps in identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating security vulnerabilities in systems, reducing the risk of cyber attacks and data breaches.

• Vulnerability Management increases the risk of cyber attacks

• Vulnerability Management only focuses on physical security, not cyber threats

• Vulnerability Management is not necessary for network security

• Detection, Isolation, Elimination, Restoration, Evaluation, Documentation

• Prevention, Analysis, Quarantine, Resolution, Backup, Review

• Preparation, Identification, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, Lessons Learned

• Assessment, Segregation, Deletion, Reinstatement, Assessment, Feedback

What are the common challenges faced by organizations in implementing Incident Response plans?

• Abundant resources, comprehensive training, seamless communication, straightforward IT environments, static threats, minimal regulatory compliance requirements

• Limited resources, insufficient training, effective communication, basic IT environments, consistent threats, minimal regulatory compliance requirements

• Excessive resources, outdated training, clear communication, simple IT environments, static threats, lack of regulatory compliance requirements

• Lack of resources, inadequate training, communication gaps, complex IT environments, evolving threats, regulatory compliance requirements

Describe the difference between IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) in Network Security.

• IDS detects, IPS prevents

• IDS detects, IPS detects and prevents.

• IDS prevents, IPS prevents

• IDS prevents, IPS detects

How can Threat Intelligence be used to proactively defend against emerging cyber threats?

• By ignoring all incoming alerts

• By continuously monitoring, analyzing, sharing information, and implementing security measures based on the intelligence gathered.

• By sharing outdated information

• By randomly implementing security measures

Explain the concept of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) in Security Monitoring.

• SIEM is a software that provides weather forecasting services.

• SIEM is a technology that collects, aggregates, and correlates log data from various sources to provide real-time analysis of security alerts and incidents for effective security monitoring.

• SIEM is a technology that focuses on social media monitoring only.

• SIEM is a tool used for data analysis in marketing campaigns.
