What is the primary goal of IoT security risk assessment?

  1. To identify potential security vulnerabilities in IoT devices and systems.

  2. To develop and implement security controls to mitigate identified risks.

  3. To monitor and respond to IoT security incidents.

  4. To raise awareness of IoT security risks among stakeholders.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of IoT security risk assessment is to identify potential security vulnerabilities in IoT devices and systems. This is done by analyzing the system architecture, identifying potential attack vectors, and assessing the likelihood and impact of potential security incidents.

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

  1. Malware and viruses

  2. Denial-of-service attacks

  3. Man-in-the-middle attacks

  4. Physical tampering


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Physical tampering is not a common IoT security risk. Malware and viruses, denial-of-service attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks are all common IoT security risks.

What is the most effective way to mitigate the risk of malware and viruses on IoT devices?

  1. Use strong passwords and authentication mechanisms.

  2. Keep IoT devices up to date with the latest security patches.

  3. Install antivirus software on IoT devices.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are effective ways to mitigate the risk of malware and viruses on IoT devices. Using strong passwords and authentication mechanisms makes it more difficult for attackers to gain access to devices. Keeping IoT devices up to date with the latest security patches fixes known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malware. Installing antivirus software on IoT devices can help to detect and remove malware.

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

  1. Regularly assess and update IoT security policies and procedures.

  2. Implement a comprehensive IoT security awareness and training program for employees.

  3. Use a centralized IoT security management platform to monitor and manage IoT devices.

  4. Ignore IoT security risks and hope that they will not materialize.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ignoring IoT security risks and hoping that they will not materialize is not a best practice for managing IoT security risks. IoT security risks are real and can have a significant impact on businesses. It is important to take steps to assess, mitigate, and manage IoT security risks.

What is the best way to respond to an IoT security incident?

  1. Ignore the incident and hope that it will go away.

  2. Immediately disconnect all IoT devices from the network.

  3. Contact the IoT device manufacturer for support.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The best way to respond to an IoT security incident is to contact the IoT device manufacturer for support. The manufacturer will be able to provide information about the incident and how to mitigate it. It is also important to disconnect all affected IoT devices from the network to prevent further damage.

What is the primary goal of IoT security risk management?

  1. To identify potential security vulnerabilities in IoT devices and systems.

  2. To develop and implement security controls to mitigate identified risks.

  3. To monitor and respond to IoT security incidents.

  4. To raise awareness of IoT security risks among stakeholders.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary goal of IoT security risk management is to develop and implement security controls to mitigate identified risks. This is done by analyzing the results of the risk assessment, selecting and implementing appropriate security controls, and monitoring the effectiveness of the security controls.

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

  1. Encryption

  2. Authentication and authorization

  3. Firewalls

  4. Physical security


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Physical security is not a common IoT security control. Encryption, authentication and authorization, and firewalls are all common IoT security controls.

What is the most effective way to mitigate the risk of denial-of-service attacks on IoT devices?

  1. Use strong passwords and authentication mechanisms.

  2. Keep IoT devices up to date with the latest security patches.

  3. Implement rate limiting and other traffic control measures.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above are effective ways to mitigate the risk of denial-of-service attacks on IoT devices. Using strong passwords and authentication mechanisms makes it more difficult for attackers to gain access to devices. Keeping IoT devices up to date with the latest security patches fixes known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. Implementing rate limiting and other traffic control measures can help to prevent attackers from overwhelming IoT devices with traffic.

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

  1. Regularly assess and update IoT security policies and procedures.

  2. Implement a comprehensive IoT security awareness and training program for employees.

  3. Use a centralized IoT security management platform to monitor and manage IoT devices.

  4. Ignore IoT security risks and hope that they will not materialize.
