Which of the following is NOT a key component of an incident response plan?

  1. Detection and analysis

  2. Containment and eradication

  3. Recovery and restoration

  4. Risk assessment and management


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk assessment and management is not a key component of an incident response plan. It is a separate process that should be conducted prior to developing an incident response plan.

What is the first step in the incident response process?

  1. Detection and analysis

  2. Containment and eradication

  3. Recovery and restoration

  4. Post-incident review


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Detection and analysis is the first step in the incident response process. It involves identifying and understanding the nature of the incident.

Which of the following is NOT a common method for detecting security incidents?

  1. Security information and event management (SIEM) systems

  2. Intrusion detection systems (IDS)

  3. Vulnerability scanners

  4. Penetration testing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Penetration testing is not a common method for detecting security incidents. It is a proactive measure that is used to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited.

What is the primary goal of containment in incident response?

  1. To prevent the incident from spreading

  2. To eradicate the incident

  3. To recover from the incident

  4. To conduct a post-incident review


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of containment in incident response is to prevent the incident from spreading to other systems or data.

Which of the following is NOT a common method for eradicating security incidents?

  1. Antivirus software

  2. Malware removal tools

  3. Patch management

  4. Vulnerability assessment


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Vulnerability assessment is not a common method for eradicating security incidents. It is a proactive measure that is used to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited.

What is the primary goal of recovery in incident response?

  1. To restore the affected systems and data to their normal state

  2. To prevent the incident from spreading

  3. To eradicate the incident

  4. To conduct a post-incident review


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of recovery in incident response is to restore the affected systems and data to their normal state.

Which of the following is NOT a common method for conducting a post-incident review?

  1. Interviews with affected personnel

  2. Analysis of log files

  3. Vulnerability assessment

  4. Penetration testing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Penetration testing is not a common method for conducting a post-incident review. It is a proactive measure that is used to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited.

What is the primary goal of an incident response plan?

  1. To minimize the impact of security incidents

  2. To prevent security incidents from occurring

  3. To detect security incidents early

  4. To recover from security incidents quickly


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Which of the following is NOT a common type of security incident?

  1. Malware attacks

  2. Phishing attacks

  3. Denial-of-service attacks

  4. Vulnerability assessments


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Vulnerability assessments are not a common type of security incident. They are a proactive measure that is used to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited.

What is the primary goal of a security information and event management (SIEM) system?

  1. To collect and analyze security logs

  2. To detect security incidents

  3. To respond to security incidents

  4. To recover from security incidents


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of a security information and event management (SIEM) system is to collect and analyze security logs.

Which of the following is NOT a common component of an intrusion detection system (IDS)?

  1. Sensors

  2. Console

  3. Reporting system

  4. Vulnerability scanner


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A vulnerability scanner is not a common component of an intrusion detection system (IDS). It is a proactive measure that is used to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited.

What is the primary goal of a patch management program?

  1. To identify and install security patches

  2. To detect security incidents

  3. To respond to security incidents

  4. To recover from security incidents


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of a patch management program is to identify and install security patches.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of vulnerability assessment?

  1. Network vulnerability assessment

  2. Host vulnerability assessment

  3. Application vulnerability assessment

  4. Penetration testing


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Penetration testing is not a common type of vulnerability assessment. It is a proactive measure that is used to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited.

What is the primary goal of a penetration test?

  1. To identify vulnerabilities in a system

  2. To detect security incidents

  3. To respond to security incidents

  4. To recover from security incidents
