Which of the following is NOT a common risk associated with IoT devices?

  1. Lack of encryption

  2. Weak authentication mechanisms

  3. Physical security vulnerabilities

  4. Data privacy concerns

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Physical security vulnerabilities are not typically associated with IoT devices, as they are often embedded in everyday objects and not easily accessible for physical attacks.

What is the primary goal of risk assessment in IoT security?

  1. To identify potential threats and vulnerabilities

  2. To determine the likelihood and impact of risks

  3. To develop and implement mitigation strategies

  4. To monitor and review the effectiveness of risk management measures

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Risk assessment aims to evaluate the likelihood and potential impact of identified risks to prioritize and allocate resources for risk mitigation.

Which of the following is NOT a common mitigation strategy for IoT security risks?

  1. Implementing strong authentication mechanisms

  2. Encrypting data in transit and at rest

  3. Regularly updating firmware and software

  4. Disabling unused features and services

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Disabling unused features and services is not a common mitigation strategy for IoT security risks, as it primarily focuses on reducing the attack surface and minimizing potential entry points for attackers.

What is the purpose of security monitoring in IoT risk management?

  1. To detect and respond to security incidents

  2. To assess the effectiveness of risk mitigation measures

  3. To identify emerging threats and vulnerabilities

  4. To comply with regulatory requirements

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Security monitoring aims to continuously monitor IoT devices and networks for suspicious activities, detect security incidents, and enable timely response to minimize the impact of breaches.

Which of the following is NOT a best practice for managing IoT security risks?

  1. Conducting regular security audits and assessments

  2. Implementing a comprehensive security policy

  3. Educating users about IoT security risks and best practices

  4. Ignoring security updates and patches

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ignoring security updates and patches is not a best practice for managing IoT security risks, as it leaves devices vulnerable to known vulnerabilities and exploits.

What is the primary objective of risk management in IoT and connected devices?

  1. To eliminate all risks associated with IoT devices

  2. To minimize the likelihood and impact of security incidents

  3. To ensure complete protection against cyber threats

  4. To comply with industry regulations and standards

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary objective of risk management in IoT and connected devices is to minimize the likelihood and impact of security incidents, recognizing that it is impossible to eliminate all risks entirely.

Which of the following is NOT a common IoT security risk?

  1. Malware and botnet infections

  2. Denial-of-service attacks

  3. Man-in-the-middle attacks

  4. Physical tampering and theft

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Physical tampering and theft are not typically considered common IoT security risks, as they involve physical access to devices, which is often limited or controlled.

What is the primary purpose of risk identification in IoT security?

  1. To assess the likelihood and impact of risks

  2. To develop and implement mitigation strategies

  3. To monitor and review the effectiveness of risk management measures

  4. To systematically identify potential threats and vulnerabilities

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk identification aims to systematically identify potential threats and vulnerabilities associated with IoT devices and their ecosystems, enabling organizations to understand and prioritize risks.

Which of the following is NOT a common IoT security risk?

  1. Eavesdropping and data interception

  2. Firmware vulnerabilities and exploits

  3. Supply chain attacks and compromised components

  4. Social engineering and phishing attacks

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Social engineering and phishing attacks are not typically considered common IoT security risks, as they primarily target human users rather than IoT devices themselves.

What is the primary purpose of risk mitigation in IoT security?

  1. To identify potential threats and vulnerabilities

  2. To assess the likelihood and impact of risks

  3. To develop and implement strategies to reduce or eliminate risks

  4. To monitor and review the effectiveness of risk management measures

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Risk mitigation aims to develop and implement strategies to reduce or eliminate identified risks, such as implementing security controls, updating firmware, and educating users about security best practices.

Which of the following is NOT a common IoT security risk?

  1. Insecure default configurations

  2. Lack of encryption and data protection

  3. Insufficient authentication and authorization mechanisms

  4. Physical access and tampering

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Physical access and tampering are not typically considered common IoT security risks, as they involve physical access to devices, which is often limited or controlled.

What is the primary purpose of risk monitoring in IoT security?

  1. To identify potential threats and vulnerabilities

  2. To assess the likelihood and impact of risks

  3. To develop and implement strategies to reduce or eliminate risks

  4. To continuously monitor IoT devices and networks for suspicious activities

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Risk monitoring aims to continuously monitor IoT devices and networks for suspicious activities, detect security incidents, and enable timely response to minimize the impact of breaches.

Which of the following is NOT a common IoT security risk?

  1. Unpatched software and firmware

  2. Weak or default passwords

  3. Lack of physical security measures

  4. Insufficient logging and auditing capabilities

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lack of physical security measures is not typically considered a common IoT security risk, as it involves physical access to devices, which is often limited or controlled.
