1. Which of the following is a primary method used to protect devices from malware infections?

Avoiding the use of strong passwords

Using only free antivirus software

Regularly updating operating systems and software

Relying solely on a firewall for protection

2. What is the main purpose of an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) system?

To replace traditional antivirus software with manual threat monitoring

To encrypt all files on a system for better security

To scan network traffic for unauthorized access attempts

To detect and respond to cybersecurity threats on endpoints in real time

3. Which technique is commonly used to harden devices against cyber threats?

Avoiding multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Allowing all applications to run without restriction

Using weak passwords to simplify authentication

Disabling unnecessary services and ports

4. How does application whitelisting enhance endpoint security?

It encrypts all network communications to prevent eavesdropping

It automatically detects and removes malware from a system

It allows all applications to run freely without restrictions

It prevents unauthorized applications from executing

5. Which security measure can help mitigate the risk of zero-day malware attacks on an endpoint?

Using heuristic-based malware detection

Disabling antivirus software to improve system performance

Delaying software updates to avoid compatibility issues

Running all applications with administrator privileges

6. What is a key advantage of implementing a host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS)?

It eliminates the need for encryption on endpoint devices

It replaces the need for network-based security measures

It prevents all types of cyber threats before they occur

It monitors and analyzes activity on a specific endpoint

7. Which of the following actions helps reduce an endpoint's attack surface?

Keeping all firewall rules at their default settings

Using a single authentication factor for access

Disabling automatic updates for system stability

Removing unused software and applications

8. Which security control is most effective for preventing unauthorized access to endpoint devices?

Allowing all users to have administrative privileges

Relying solely on password authentication without additional factors

Disabling system logs to improve performance

Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA)

9. Why is endpoint encryption an important security measure?

It allows attackers to gain access without detection

It prevents malware from infecting the system entirely

It protects data stored on devices even if they are lost or stolen

It replaces the need for regular software updates

10. What is the role of a sandbox in endpoint security?

It isolates suspicious files and applications to analyze their behavior

It allows users to bypass security restrictions when needed

It replaces traditional antivirus solutions for threat detection

It acts as a physical barrier to protect network devices
