  2. Cross-site scripting (XSS)

  3. SQL injection

  4. Buffer overflow

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Buffer overflow is a type of attack that is typically used to exploit vulnerabilities in desktop applications, not mobile applications.

What is the purpose of code obfuscation in mobile application security?

  1. To make the code more difficult to read and understand

  2. To improve the performance of the application

  3. To reduce the size of the application

  4. To prevent the application from being reverse engineered

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Code obfuscation is a technique used to make the code more difficult to read and understand, which can help to prevent the application from being reverse engineered.

Which of the following is NOT a best practice for mobile application security?

  1. Use strong encryption to protect sensitive data

  2. Implement input validation to prevent malicious input

  3. Use a secure development lifecycle (SDL)

  4. Store passwords in plaintext

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Storing passwords in plaintext is a major security risk, as it allows attackers to easily access them if they are able to compromise the application.

What is the purpose of a mobile application security assessment?

  1. To identify vulnerabilities in the application

  2. To improve the performance of the application

  3. To reduce the size of the application

  4. To make the application more user-friendly

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A mobile application security assessment is a process of identifying vulnerabilities in the application that could be exploited by attackers.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of mobile malware?

  1. Virus

  2. Trojan

  3. Worm

  4. Ransomware

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ransomware is a type of malware that is typically used to target computers, not mobile devices.

What is the purpose of a mobile application firewall (MAFW)?

  1. To block malicious traffic from reaching the application

  2. To improve the performance of the application

  3. To reduce the size of the application

  4. To make the application more user-friendly

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A mobile application firewall is a security solution that is designed to block malicious traffic from reaching the application.

Which of the following is NOT a best practice for mobile application security testing?

  1. Use a variety of testing tools and techniques

  2. Test the application on multiple devices and operating systems

  3. Only test the application on the latest version of the operating system

  4. Test the application for both known and unknown vulnerabilities

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Only testing the application on the latest version of the operating system is not a best practice, as it does not account for the fact that many users may be using older versions of the operating system.

What is the purpose of a mobile application security policy?

  1. To define the security requirements for mobile applications

  2. To improve the performance of the application

  3. To reduce the size of the application

  4. To make the application more user-friendly

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A mobile application security policy is a document that defines the security requirements for mobile applications.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of mobile application security vulnerability?

  1. Buffer overflow

  2. Cross-site scripting (XSS)

  3. SQL injection

  4. Insecure storage of sensitive data

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Buffer overflow is a type of vulnerability that is typically found in desktop applications, not mobile applications.

What is the purpose of a mobile application penetration test?

  1. To identify vulnerabilities in the application that could be exploited by attackers

  2. To improve the performance of the application

  3. To reduce the size of the application

  4. To make the application more user-friendly

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A mobile application penetration test is a process of identifying vulnerabilities in the application that could be exploited by attackers.

Which of the following is NOT a best practice for mobile application security awareness training?

  1. Provide training to all employees who use mobile devices

  2. Focus on the latest mobile security threats

  3. Only provide training to employees who have access to sensitive data

  4. Make training mandatory for all employees

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Only providing training to employees who have access to sensitive data is not a best practice, as all employees who use mobile devices should be aware of the latest mobile security threats.

What is the purpose of a mobile application security scanner?

  1. To identify vulnerabilities in the application

  2. To improve the performance of the application

  3. To reduce the size of the application

  4. To make the application more user-friendly

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A mobile application security scanner is a tool that is used to identify vulnerabilities in mobile applications.

Which of the following is NOT a common type of mobile application security attack?

  1. Phishing

  2. Malware

  3. Man-in-the-middle attack

  4. Denial-of-service attack

Show answer
Correct Option: D
