Question 1

Due to increasing cyber attacks, an organization needs to ensure employees remain up-to-date with security best practices. Which of the following should they implement?

Schedule training sessions once every two years. Continual Security Education program. Improve technical security measures, while reducing employee training. A single training session on general cyber security.

Correct Answer: Continual Security Education program.

The correct answer is a Continual Security Education (CSE) program because it ensures regular, updated training for all employees. Other answers may not provide continuous or comprehensive training, exclude certain employees, or disregard the importance of employee involvement.

Question 2

While conducting an incident response training, you identify a weak area in your team's knowledge. How should you address this gap during the training?

Ignore the weak area and continue with the training Educate your team on the weak area and perform additional practice scenarios Postpone the training and ask your team members to research the weak area individually Focus solely on the weak area and disregard other parts of the training

Correct Answer: Educate your team on the weak area and perform additional practice scenarios

During training, the most effective way to address knowledge gaps is to educate your team on the weak area and perform additional exercises to ensure understanding. Other options may not be as effective or could create unnecessary delays in the training schedule.

Question 3

You are the security administrator in a small company. During an audit, it is discovered that the server room has no access control system in place. Which of the following is the BEST solution to implement?

Use a combination lock on the server room door. Install security cameras analyzing server room entrance. Install a card reader at the server room entrance. Place a security guard in front of the server room.

Correct Answer: Install a card reader at the server room entrance.

Installing a card reader at the server room entrance would be the most cost-effective and efficient solution for controlling access. While a security guard provides monitoring, it's costly and not as efficient. Security cameras and log entries only allow post-event analysis. Combination locks lack individual accountability. Biometric authentication is a good solution, but it may be too complex or expensive for a small company.
