Complex Event Processing (CEP) enables real-time pattern detection in streaming data.
- True
- False
Answer: True
CEP engines detect complex patterns, correlations, and sequences in real-time streams. Critical for fraud detection, monitoring.
Which technology enables distributed messaging with high throughput and durability?
- Apache Kafka
- RabbitMQ
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Kafka excels at high-throughput event streaming; RabbitMQ at flexible routing. Both enable event-driven architectures.
Which technique analyzes malware behavior in isolated environments?
- Static Analysis
- Dynamic Analysis
- Sandboxing
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Malware analysis combines: static (code inspection), dynamic (runtime behavior), sandboxing (isolated execution).
Which service provides managed secrets management for cloud applications?
- AWS Secrets Manager
- Azure Key Vault
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Managed secrets managers store, rotate, and control access to credentials, API keys, certificates. Critical for secure cloud applications.
The practice of continuously monitoring user and entity behavior for anomalies is called ________ Analytics.
- UEBA / User and Entity Behavior
- Kubernetes
- Dynamic
- Intranet
Answer: UEBA / User and Entity Behavior
UEBA uses ML to establish behavioral baselines and detect anomalies indicating compromised accounts or insider threats.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is critical for enforcing least privilege in Zero Trust.
- True
- False
Answer: True
IAM systems manage user identities, authentication, authorization. Critical for implementing least privilege access controls.
Which technology enables continuous verification of device health in Zero Trust?
- Endpoint Detection and Response
- Device Posture Assessment
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
EDR monitors endpoint behavior; device posture assesses security configuration. Both enable continuous verification in Zero Trust.

- True
- False
Answer: True
India's rapid 5G deployment driven by competitive telecom operators, government policy support, indigenous technology development.
The technique that enables LLMs to execute code or use external tools for complex tasks is called ________ Calling.
- Function
- kube-scheduler
- Privacy / Anonymity
- Code
Answer: Function
Function calling enables LLMs to invoke APIs, run code, query databases for tasks beyond text generation.
Which storage format is optimized for analytics workloads with columnar access?
- CSV
- JSON
- Parquet
- Avro
Answer: Parquet
Parquet is columnar storage format optimized for analytics: efficient compression, predicate pushdown, schema evolution.
The pattern of processing data as it arrives rather than in batches is called ________ Processing.
- Stream
- Green / Energy-Efficient
- Real-time
- Federated
Answer: Stream
Stream processing handles continuous data flows for real-time insights: fraud detection, monitoring, personalization.
Which technology enables distributed stream processing with exactly-once semantics?
- Apache Kafka
- Apache Flink
- Apache Spark Streaming
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Kafka (messaging), Flink (stream processing), Spark Streaming (micro-batch) enable real-time analytics with varying consistency guarantees.
The process of proactively searching for threats that evade automated detection is called Threat ________.
- Demand Assigned Multiple / DAMA
- RTI Online
- Account Aggregator
- Hunting
Answer: Hunting
Threat hunting uses hypotheses, analytics, and analyst expertise to find hidden adversaries. Complements automated detection.
Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) include malicious IPs, domains, and file hashes.
- True
- False
Answer: True
IOCs are forensic artifacts indicating potential breaches. Used for proactive blocking, hunting, and incident response.
Which framework standardizes threat information sharing using structured formats?
- STIX/TAXII
- MITRE ATT&CK
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
STIX/TAXII standardizes threat data exchange; MITRE ATT&CK catalogs adversary TTPs. Both enable threat-informed defense and collaboration.
CSPM tools continuously monitor cloud configurations for compliance violations.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Cloud Security Posture Management automates detection/remediation of misconfigurations: public storage, weak IAM, unencrypted resources.
Which cloud security model defines shared responsibilities between provider and customer?
- Shared Responsibility Model
- Zero Trust
- Defense in Depth
- Least Privilege
Answer: Shared Responsibility Model
Cloud provider secures infrastructure ('security OF cloud'); customer secures data/apps ('security IN cloud'). Responsibilities vary by service model (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS).
The practice of granting minimum permissions required for a task is called Principle of Least ________.
- Astra
- Privilege
- Parquet
- Wi-Fi
Answer: Privilege
Principle of Least Privilege restricts user/system access rights to only what is essential. Reduces attack surface and limits damage from compromised accounts.
Micro-segmentation isolates workloads to limit lateral movement of threats.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Micro-segmentation creates granular security zones around workloads, containing breaches and limiting attacker movement. Critical for Zero Trust implementation.
