Correct Answer: DDoS

DDoS is a technical attack aimed at overwhelming systems, while the others are tactics that exploit human psychology.

Correct Answer: To collect, analyze, and correlate security data from across the organization

SIEM systems centralize security monitoring, enabling real-time analysis of security events and incidents.

Correct Answer: An attack that takes advantage of a previously unknown vulnerability

A zero-day exploit targets vulnerabilities that have not yet been disclosed or patched, making them particularly dangerous.

Two-step verification enhances security by requiring two forms of identification, such as a password and a code sent to a mobile device.

Correct Answer: To secure access to encrypted data

An encryption key is used to encrypt and decrypt data, ensuring that only authorized users can access the information.

Correct Answer: To train employees to recognize and respond to security threats

Security awareness programs educate employees about security risks and best practices to help mitigate potential threats.

Correct Answer: Attacks that use trial and error to guess passwords or encryption keys

Brute force attacks systematically try various combinations until the correct password or key is found.

Correct Answer: The unauthorized transmission of data to an external destination

Data leakage occurs when sensitive information is exposed or sent outside the organization without authorization.

Correct Answer: To detect, prevent, and remove malware

Antivirus software protects systems from malware by detecting and removing threats before they can cause harm.
