CSP Cybersecurity & Digital Surveillance 2

Question 1

What type of attack involves an adversary intercepting and potentially altering communication between two parties without their knowledge?

Accepted Answer

Man-in-the-Middle (MitM)

Answer

A Man-in-the-Middle attack occurs when an attacker secretly intercepts and relays messages between two parties who believe they are communicating directly.

Question 2

In digital surveillance systems, what is the primary purpose of network segmentation?

Accepted Answer

To isolate surveillance networks from general corporate traffic

Answer

Network segmentation isolates surveillance systems on dedicated network segments, limiting exposure to breaches and unauthorized access from other network zones.

Question 3

Which protocol is most commonly used to encrypt web-based access to IP camera management interfaces?

Accepted Answer

HTTPS/TLS

Answer

HTTPS using TLS encryption protects web-based camera management interfaces by encrypting data in transit between the browser and the device.

Question 4

A surveillance camera is discovered still using its factory-set default password. This represents which category of vulnerability?

Accepted Answer

Default credential vulnerability

Answer

Default credential vulnerabilities occur when devices retain manufacturer-set usernames and passwords that are publicly known and never changed by the operator.

Question 5

What is the function of a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) in protecting a surveillance system?

Accepted Answer

It logically separates surveillance traffic from other network traffic

Answer

VLANs logically segment network traffic so that surveillance devices operate on an isolated broadcast domain, reducing the risk of cross-network attacks.
