GK Questions

Data catalogs enable discovery; data lineage tracks data flow and transformations. Both critical for data governance.

Edge computing processes data near source, reducing round-trip latency to cloud. Critical for IoT, autonomous vehicles.

CEP engines detect complex patterns, correlations, and sequences in real-time streams. Critical for fraud detection, monitoring.

Kafka excels at high-throughput event streaming; RabbitMQ at flexible routing. Both enable event-driven architectures.

Malware analysis combines: static (code inspection), dynamic (runtime behavior), sandboxing (isolated execution).

Managed secrets managers store, rotate, and control access to credentials, API keys, certificates. Critical for secure cloud applications.

UEBA uses ML to establish behavioral baselines and detect anomalies indicating compromised accounts or insider threats.

IAM systems manage user identities, authentication, authorization. Critical for implementing least privilege access controls.

EDR monitors endpoint behavior; device posture assesses security configuration. Both enable continuous verification in Zero Trust.

Digital India ecosystem: UMANG for service delivery, MyGov for citizen engagement, DigiLocker for documents.

India's rapid 5G deployment driven by competitive telecom operators, government policy support, indigenous technology development.

Function calling enables LLMs to invoke APIs, run code, query databases for tasks beyond text generation.

Transformer architecture uses self-attention mechanisms to process sequences in parallel, enabling scaling to billions of parameters.

Parquet is columnar storage format optimized for analytics: efficient compression, predicate pushdown, schema evolution.

Stream processing handles continuous data flows for real-time insights: fraud detection, monitoring, personalization.

Kafka (messaging), Flink (stream processing), Spark Streaming (micro-batch) enable real-time analytics with varying consistency guarantees.

Threat hunting uses hypotheses, analytics, and analyst expertise to find hidden adversaries. Complements automated detection.

IOCs are forensic artifacts indicating potential breaches. Used for proactive blocking, hunting, and incident response.

STIX/TAXII standardizes threat data exchange; MITRE ATT&CK catalogs adversary TTPs. Both enable threat-informed defense and collaboration.

Cloud Security Posture Management automates detection/remediation of misconfigurations: public storage, weak IAM, unencrypted resources.
