Cyber Security Awareness Quiz for Security Managers

17th October 2024

Daisy Corporate Services

It’s Cyber Security Awareness Month!

Test your expertise in Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to see how well you’re equipped to manage security functions in a medium to large organisation.

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

1Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Fundamentals

2Advanced Threats and Incident Response

3Optimising MDR and Security Solutions

1. What is the primary advantage of a MDR service for organisations?(Required)

It automates all security functions

It offers 24/7 monitoring and detection of potential cyber security incidents, and provides incident response when required

It focuses exclusively on endpoint security

It eliminates the need for an in-house security team

2. How does MDR typically differ from traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions?(Required)

MDR relies solely on manual responses to incidents

MDR focuses on proactive threat hunting and response, while SIEM primarily aggregates and analyses logs

MDR only detects threats but doesn't respond, whereas SIEM handles both

SIEM systems are cloud-based, while MDR services are on-premises

3. Which key feature of MDR helps minimise the time between threat detection and response?(Required)

Automated alerts with predefined escalation paths

Manual forensic analysis

Real-time log aggregation without contextual analysis

Penetration testing

4. Which of the following is NOT a common component of a comprehensive MDR solution?(Required)

Proactive threat hunting

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) integration

Full automation of patch management

24/7 security operations centre (SOC) support

5. In the context of MDR, what does "threat hunting" refer to?(Required)

Automating detection rules to block threats before they infiltrate the system

Proactively searching for signs of previously unknown, or ongoing non-remediated threats

Deploying honeypots to attract attackers and trace their activities

Running automated malware scans on endpoints

6. Which of the following threats is most challenging for MDR systems to detect?(Required)

Zero-day exploits

Ransomware with known signatures

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks

Phishing attacks from well-known sources

7. What is a key benefit of using Extended Detection and Response (XDR) in conjunction with MDR?(Required)

XDR eliminates the need for endpoint detection

XDR integrates threat data across multiple layers (endpoint, network, cloud) for deeper insights

XDR focuses only on network security, making it faster than traditional MDR

XDR provides fully automated incident response with no human intervention

8. Which factor is crucial for reducing "dwell time" (the time a threat remains undetected in a network)?(Required)

Frequent employee training on phishing

The use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in threat detection

Regular patching of endpoint devices

Larger network bandwidth to accommodate security tools

9. When evaluating an MDR provider, what is one of the most critical factors for a successful partnership?(Required)

The provider’s ability to offer custom security appliances

The speed and effectiveness of their incident response capabilities

The location of their SOC

Whether they offer unlimited data retention

10. How can integrating MDR with your existing security stack enhance overall protection?(Required)

It eliminates the need for separate vulnerability management tools

It ensures seamless collaboration between various security layers, supported by the proactive management of a Managed Service Provider

It reduces the number of personnel required to manage security

It focuses primarily on mitigating hardware-level attacks, therefore perfectly complementing your existing security stack

11. Which metric is most commonly used to assess the effectiveness of an MDR solution?(Required)

The number of alerts generated daily

The mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR)

The total cost of ownership (TCO)

The size of the security operations team

12. What is one of the biggest challenges organisations face when integrating MDR services into their security infrastructure?(Required)

Ensuring compliance with privacy laws

Implementing physical security measures

Handling false positives and fine-tuning detection rules

Replacing existing firewall and network infrastructure
