Syslog would be used for which activity?

  1. Transferring log events within networks
  2. Securing endpoints via runtime protection
  3. Securing logs collected from endpoints
  4. Connecting to a system remotely

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

What is the primary purpose of an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)?

  1. Detecting malicious traffic before reaching trusted network
  2. Filtering malicious traffic before reaching trusted network
  3. Building code for server infrastructure
  4. Deploying scanners for server infrastructure

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) actively monitors network traffic and filters or blocks malicious packets before they reach the trusted network, thereby preventing intrusions in real time.



What is a function of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)?

  1. Rejecting connections deemed anomalous
  2. Filtering outbound malicious TCP packets
  3. Monitoring network traffic for specific patterns
  4. Dropping inline network packets

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors network traffic and analyzes it for specific signatures or behavioral patterns that indicate potential malicious or unauthorized activity.



What are two areas in which AI can help Security Operations Center (SOC) teams with alerts? (Choose two.)

  1. Vulnerability patching
  2. Alert triage
  3. SOC resource management
  4. Incident response

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

AI assists with alert triage by analyzing and prioritizing security alerts to reduce false positives.
AI supports incident response by automating detection, correlation, and recommended remediation actions for faster threat containment.



Which concept is a strategic approach to cybersecurity that continuously validates every stage of a digital interaction?

  1. Incident response plan implementation
  2. Zero Trust adoption
  3. Compliance planning
  4. Operations playbook development

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Zero Trust adoption is a cybersecurity strategy that assumes no user or device is inherently trusted, continuously verifying and validating every stage of digital interaction before granting access.
