Cybersecurity and Response Planningintermediate
Select ALL examples identified in the course material as possible attack-related methods or activity.
Answer
Phishing, Exposed-device misconfigurations, Weak default accounts
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Phishing**: The material lists phishing as an example associated with attacks.
- **Exposed-device misconfigurations**: A misconfigured exposed device can provide an attacker with an opportunity for entry.
- **Weak default accounts**: Weak default accounts are another example of a potential route into an environment.
### The concept
The listed examples describe possible ways attackers may gain or extend access. They are not themselves the seven stages; they are examples of activity or weaknesses that can relate to stages in an attack. Risk reassessment, in contrast, is a defensive assessment activity.
### The other options
- **Routine reassessment of residual risk**: This is a defensive risk management activity, not an attack method or attacker activity.
### Terms
- **Phishing**: A deceptive message or communication used to induce a target to take an unsafe action.
- **Misconfiguration**: An incorrect or unsafe system setting.
### Remember
Separate attacker techniques from defensive assessment tasks.
