IOT IoT Security 3

Question 1

What is 'secure boot' in the context of IoT device security?

Accepted Answer

A process ensuring only trusted software runs during device startup

Answer

Secure boot verifies the digital signature of firmware during startup, ensuring only authorized code executes on the device.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Capturing and retransmitting valid data packets to deceive a system

Answer

A replay attack captures valid IoT communications and retransmits them to trick the receiving device into performing unauthorized actions.

Question 4

Which of the following best describes 'zero trust security' as applied to IoT networks?

Accepted Answer

Never trusting any device by default; always verifying before granting access

Answer

Zero trust security assumes no device inside or outside the network is inherently trusted and requires continuous verification for every access request.

Question 5
