Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How does risk management contribute to the resilience of defense networks against cyber attacks?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It identifies and prioritizes potential vulnerabilities and implements strategies to reduce the impact of successful attacks

It focuses primarily on preventing unauthorized access without considering operational continuity

It limits network monitoring to only critical systems

It reduces the need for regular software updates and patches

Question 2: What is the role of "Threat Intelligence" in vulnerability assessments for defense organizations?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Threat intelligence is irrelevant during vulnerability scanning

Threat intelligence is useful only for incident response, not vulnerability assessments

Threat intelligence focuses only on identifying external threats, not internal vulnerabilities

Threat intelligence provides context about emerging threats, helping prioritize vulnerabilities based on active exploitation

Question 3: What is a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack, and how would you identify it during an ethical hacking engagement in aerospace systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It disrupts internal communications by blocking secure protocols

It attempts to crash the network by overloading resources

It intercepts and potentially alters communications between two parties without their knowledge

It locks down the system by exploiting weak authentication processes

Question 4: How does a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack impact a network, and what is the most effective defense strategy in a defense network?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It injects malicious code into the network to disrupt communication, requiring anti-malware defenses

It exploits vulnerabilities in network protocols, requiring a firewall update

It overwhelms network resources by flooding them with traffic, and DDoS protection mechanisms like traffic filtering are effective

It encrypts network traffic to prevent interception, with decryption as the primary defense

Question 5: In the context of securing military communication networks, how does the IKE (Internet Key Exchange) protocol function?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It establishes a secure connection between two devices by negotiating encryption keys and protocols for IPsec

It encrypts data before transmission to prevent eavesdropping

It authenticates users without requiring passwords

It verifies the integrity of the network hardware

Question 6: How can ethical hackers test the security of military-grade communication systems without causing disruption?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By disrupting the system and observing how it recovers

By testing the encryption protocols directly without consideration for security measures

By using brute force methods on communication channels

By using non-intrusive methods, such as passive network sniffing, to observe and analyze the communication traffic
