What is the main advantage of using Network Time Protocol (NTP) in network security?

• It synchronizes system clocks to ensure accurate event logging

• It encrypts data during transmission

• It provides a firewall for network protection

• It monitors network traffic for anomalies

What makes a Living-off-the-Land (LotL) attack difficult to detect?

• The attacker does not install any new files or software

• The attacker uses advanced encryption techniques

• The attacker operates during off-peak hours

• The attacker targets only high-profile individuals

What is the purpose of a checksum in data integrity checks?

• To verify that a file has not been altered during transfer

• To increase the file size for security purposes

• To compress the data for faster transmission

• To encrypt the file for protection against unauthorized access

Which of the following statements about steganography is TRUE?

• integrity

• validity

• reliability

• accuracy

What is the purpose of network segmentation?

• To isolate different network zones for improved security

• To increase network speed by reducing traffic

• To simplify network management and configuration

• To allow unrestricted access to all devices

What tool is suggested for creating security policies?

• ISO 27001 Guidelines
