17th October 2024

Daisy Corporate Services

It’s Cyber Security Awareness Month! How well do you understand cyber security? Take this quiz to find out!

This quiz assesses your cyber security knowledge, it focuses on essential security practices, recognising threats, and how to safeguard against cyber risks.

Don’t worry, the test is anonymous, you don’t have to give your contact information, and only you will see your results!

1General Knowledge

2Threats and Vulnerabilities

3Best Practices

1. Why is it important to create strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts?(Required)

If it’s more difficult for you to remember lots of passwords, it will be more difficult for hackers too

It makes it harder for hackers to access multiple accounts if one is compromised

It helps ensure you are more careful when you log in

The more passwords you have, the more often you will forget them and have to reset, which is more important than password strength

2. What is phishing?(Required)

Sending fake emails to steal personal information

Installing anti-virus software

A method for securely logging into accounts

A type of password manager

3. What is multi-factor authentication (MFA)?(Required)

Using a username and password to log in

The combination of a password with another method, like a code sent to your mobile phone

Using the same password across multiple accounts

Setting a security question alongside your password

4. Why should you avoid clicking on unknown links or downloading attachments from unfamiliar emails?(Required)

It can slow down your computer

It might infect your system with malware or lead to phishing attacks

It takes up storage space

It might be someone playing a practical joke

5. What should you do if you receive an unexpected email from someone you know asking for sensitive information?(Required)

Provide the information right away if the email looks legitimate

Delete the email without responding

Rather than replying, verify the request by initiating contact with the sender through an official channel

Forward the email to your colleagues

6. What is ransomware?(Required)

A type of malware that encrypts data and demands payment to release it

Software that improves computer performance

An alert from your anti-virus software

A type of firewall

7. What is a key indicator of a potentially malicious website?(Required)

It loads very quickly

The URL starts with "http" instead of "https"

It has a lot of ads

It’s listed in search engine results

8. Which type of attack involves tricking someone into revealing sensitive information through social interaction?(Required)

Malware

Social engineering

SQL injection

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

9. Why should you lock your computer when stepping away, even for a short time?(Required)

It saves energy

It helps prevent unauthorised access to data

It stops the computer from overheating

It keeps your software updated

10. What should you do if you suspect your account has been compromised?(Required)

Change your password and contact your IT department immediately

Ignore it if nothing seems wrong

Share your password with IT so they can investigate

Log out and log back in

11. How often should software updates be installed?(Required)

Only when something goes wrong

As soon as they become available, or your IT team has requested it

Every six months

Once a year

12. What is the most effective way to protect sensitive company data?(Required)

Store it on your personal device

Encrypt the data and use strong passwords

Share it with colleagues over unsecured networks

Leave it in your email inbox
