Membership inference attacks determine whether specific individuals were in a model's training dataset.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Membership inference exploits model confidence to infer training data membership. Mitigation: differential privacy, regularization, output perturbation.
Which attack manipulates training data to cause targeted misclassifications during inference?
- Data Poisoning
- Backdoor Attack
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Data poisoning injects malicious samples; backdoor attacks embed triggers that activate misclassification. Both compromise model integrity during training.
Runtime security monitoring detects anomalous behavior in running containers and Kubernetes workloads.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Runtime security (Falco, Tetragon) monitors system calls, network activity, file access in real-time to detect threats in containerized environments.
Which Kubernetes security feature restricts pod capabilities to prevent privilege escalation?
- Security Context
- Pod Security Standards
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Security Context defines pod/container privileges; Pod Security Standards enforce baseline/restricted policies. Both critical for container security.
The practice of scanning Infrastructure as Code templates for security misconfigurations is called ________ Scanning.
- IaC / Infrastructure as Code
- FOSS / Free and Open Source Software
- Parameter
- FATF / Financial Action Task Force
Answer: IaC / Infrastructure as Code
IaC scanning (Checkov, tfsec) analyzes Terraform/CloudFormation for misconfigurations before deployment. Critical for shift-left security in DevOps.
Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) implements Zero Trust by hiding infrastructure until authentication is complete.
- True
- False
Answer: True
SDP creates dynamic, identity-based perimeters: resources invisible until user/device authenticated and authorized. Critical for reducing attack surface.
Which technology enables continuous authentication by analyzing user behavior patterns?
- Behavioral Biometrics
- Adaptive Authentication
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Behavioral biometrics analyzes typing, mouse movements; adaptive authentication adjusts requirements based on risk. Both enable continuous verification in Zero Trust.
The framework that provides guidelines for implementing Zero Trust Architecture is called NIST SP ________.
- 194S
- 1,00,000
- 800-207
- 20
Answer: 800-207
NIST SP 800-207 provides comprehensive Zero Trust guidance: identity verification, device trust, network segmentation, continuous monitoring.
The Digital India Act proposal includes provisions for regulating algorithmic transparency and platform accountability.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Digital India Act aims to address: platform accountability, user rights, emerging tech governance, algorithmic transparency. Complements DPDP Act and IT Rules.
Which Indian initiative aims to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030?
- National Solar Mission
- Panchamrit Strategy
- Green Energy Corridor
- All of these
Answer: Panchamrit Strategy
Panchamrit (five nectars) announced at COP26 includes: 500 GW non-fossil capacity, 50% energy from renewables, 1 billion tonne CO2 reduction, net-zero by 2070.
The Indian mission that successfully landed near the Moon's south pole in 2023 is called ________-3.
- Chandrayaan
- Combined Gas and Gas (COGAG)
- chmod
- Utilization / CCU
Answer: Chandrayaan
Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander and Pragyan rover analyzed lunar soil near south pole, searching for water ice and studying surface composition.
India's UPI system processed over 10 billion transactions monthly in 2026, making it the world's largest real-time payment system.
- True
- False
Answer: True
UPI's success driven by interoperability, zero MDR, and innovation. Inspired similar systems globally: Singapore PayNow, UAE, France discussions.
Quantum Key Distribution provides information-theoretic security based on quantum physics principles.
- True
- False
Answer: True
QKD uses no-cloning theorem and measurement disturbance to detect eavesdropping. Provides provable security unlike computational security of classical cryptography.
The Indian law that governs processing of digital personal data is called the ________ Act 2023.
- Digital Personal Data Protection / DPDP
- Diversity
- Multimodal Learning
- qXR / CAD4TB
Answer: Digital Personal Data Protection / DPDP
DPDP Act 2023 establishes framework for processing digital personal data in India, with rights for data principals and obligations for data fiduciaries.
The Right to be Forgotten allows individuals to request deletion of their personal data under GDPR.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Right to Erasure (Article 17 GDPR) allows individuals to request deletion when data is no longer necessary, consent withdrawn, or processing unlawful. Critical privacy right.
Which regulation requires explicit consent for processing sensitive personal data in the EU?
- GDPR
- ePrivacy Directive
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
GDPR requires explicit consent for special category data; ePrivacy Directive covers electronic communications. Both emphasize user control and transparency in data processing.
Model inversion attacks can reconstruct sensitive training data from model predictions.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Model inversion exploits model confidence scores to infer sensitive attributes of training data. Mitigation: differential privacy, output perturbation, access controls.
The practice of scanning container images for vulnerabilities before deployment is called ________ Scanning.
- Engineering Task Force / IETF
- Red Team / Penetration
- Container / Image
- Shor's
Answer: Container / Image
Container image scanning identifies known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and secrets in images before deployment. Critical for secure CI/CD pipelines in cloud-native environments.
Service mesh provides mutual TLS encryption for service-to-service communication in microservices.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) automatically encrypts service-to-service traffic with mTLS, provides authentication, authorization, and observability without application code changes.
Which Kubernetes security practice restricts pod capabilities to minimize attack surface?
