CK Cyber 2 - LO1.3.C

What is a vulnerability in the context of computer systems or networks?

• A strong security measure

• A weakness that can be exploited by an adversary

• A type of antivirus software

• A secure network protocol

Which of the following is an example of a physical vulnerability?

• Insecure data buffers

• Lack of proper locking mechanisms

• Unsanitized user input

• Encrypted data transmission

What could happen if an adversary gains physical access to network components?

• They can improve network speed

• They can cause disruption or harm

• They can enhance security

• They can update software

Which of the following is a software vulnerability?

• Ability to plug an external drive into a computer

• Unsanitized user input

• Lack of adequate perimeter defenses

• Physical access to network components

What is a potential risk of having external ports exposed on computers?

• Increased processing speed

• Vulnerability to theft

• Enhanced data encryption

• Improved user interface

Which of the following is NOT an example of a physical vulnerability?

• Lack of proper locking mechanisms

• Insecure data buffers

• Physical access to network components

• Ability for an adversary to plug an external drive into a computer

What is the consequence of having unsanitized user input in software?

• Improved user experience

• Increased security

• Potential exploitation by adversaries

• Faster data processing

Which of the following measures can help prevent physical vulnerabilities?

• Using strong passwords

• Installing antivirus software

• Implementing proper locking mechanisms

• Encrypting data

What is a common characteristic of software vulnerabilities?

• They are always visible to users

• They result from insecure design or coding

• They enhance system performance

• They are easy to fix

Which of the following is an example of a perimeter defense?

• Insecure data buffers
