Security Testing and Incident Response

Why is it important to use test systems during security incident testing?

• To save time and resources

• To ensure production systems are not disrupted

• To make the testing process more realistic

• To involve more people in the testing process

What should organizations do after a security test is completed?

• Replace all security personnel

• Conduct another test immediately

• Evaluate the test to identify areas for improvement

• Ignore the results and continue as usual

What is a key benefit of conducting a tabletop exercise?

• It requires no planning or preparation

• It allows for a full-scale incident drill

• It enables discussion of procedures without actual disruption

• It guarantees the detection of all vulnerabilities

What is a potential drawback of running a full-scale disaster recovery drill?

• It is too easy to conduct

• It requires minimal resources

• It can be time-consuming and costly

• It does not involve any personnel

What is the primary goal of a phishing simulation?

• To reduce the cost of security training

• To increase the number of phishing attempts

• To evaluate the effectiveness of security measures

• To train users on how to send phishing emails

What is a common method used in simulation tests to assess security?

• Sending legitimate emails

• Conducting physical security checks

• Sending phishing emails

• Ignoring security protocols

What is the purpose of root cause analysis in security incidents?

• To identify the initial point of entry for an attack

• To blame the responsible employee

• To increase the number of security incidents

• To reduce the cost of security measures

What can be a result of a successful root cause analysis?

• Increased security incidents

• Increased system downtime

• Improved security measures

• Decreased security awareness

How can threat hunting help prevent security breaches?

• By reducing the number of security personnel

• By increasing the number of security incidents

• By identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities proactively

• By ignoring known vulnerabilities

Why is it important to monitor existing systems regularly?

• To identify and address vulnerabilities promptly

• To ensure they are outdated

• To increase the number of security incidents

• To reduce the number of security personnel
