IC33 ISA-IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Risk Assessment Specialist Questions 26–30 (page: 7)

What is a consequence of inadequate incident detection and response plans?

  1. Improved security posture
  2. Increased risk of exploitation
  3. Enhanced user awareness
  4. Better configuration management

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Inadequate incident detection and response plans mean the organization may fail to quickly identify, contain, and respond to cybersecurity events. As a result, attackers may remain undetected longer, exploit vulnerabilities more effectively, and cause greater damage to the IACS environment.



Which vulnerability category includes "Insecure architecture allowed to evolve"?

  1. Configuration and maintenance
  2. Architecture and design
  3. Physical
  4. Software

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

“Insecure architecture allowed to evolve” refers to weaknesses that arise from poor or uncontrolled system design over time. This belongs to the architecture and design vulnerability category because the issue is related to how the system structure, segmentation, and communication paths were designed or allowed to develop.



Why should an automated tool be tested prior to use in an assessment?

  1. To ensure that it can execute without human interaction
  2. To ensure that it meets organization security tolerances
  3. To ensure that it continues to function and maintains availability
  4. To ensure that it does not introduce security vulnerabilities or harmful system impact

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Automated assessment tools can affect IACS environments if they generate unexpected traffic, probe devices aggressively, or interact poorly with sensitive control system components. Testing the tool before use helps confirm that it will not disrupt operations, introduce vulnerabilities, or cause harmful system impact.



What is a common issue related to configuration and maintenance vulnerabilities?

  1. Lack of backup power
  2. Improper data validation
  3. Flow controls not employed
  4. Malware protection not up to date

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Configuration and maintenance vulnerabilities arise from poor system administration, inadequate patching, outdated security controls, or improper maintenance practices. Outdated malware protection is a classic example because antivirus/anti-malware signatures and protection mechanisms must be maintained regularly to remain effective.



In which assessment does a cybersecurity risk assessment specialist attempt to gain non-authorized access?

  1. High-level vulnerability assessment
  2. Passive cybersecurity vulnerability assessment
  3. Vulnerability assessment
  4. Penetration testing

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Penetration testing (pentesting) is the assessment method in which the assessor actively attempts to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access to systems, applications, devices, or networks.
