Question 1

Businesses sometimes achieve uninterruptible service by using a technology known as ____ to keep a mirror copy of all their data.
A) RFID
B) RAID
C) WPA
D) OnTrack

Accepted Answer

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology that uses multiple hard drives to store data in a way that provides redundancy and fault tolerance. By keeping a mirror copy of all data across multiple disks, businesses can continue to operate even if one or more disks fail. This helps ensure uninterruptible service. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) are not technologies used for uninterruptible service, and OnTrack is a data recovery software, not a technology for uninterruptible service.

Question 2

An item such as a smart card is an example of the ____ form of authentication.
A) something you know
B) something you have
C) something about you
D) biometric

Accepted Answer

A smart card is a physical object that a person possesses, making it an example of the "something you have" form of authentication.

Question 3

The only time it is considered safe to send private information over a public wireless network is if it has ____.
A) HTTPS
B) WPA
C) WPA2
D) none of the above; a public wireless network is never safe for private information

Accepted Answer

Public wireless networks are inherently insecure, and even with protections like HTTPS, WPA, or WPA2, they cannot be considered completely safe for transmitting private information.

Question 4

Microsoft Windows uses ____ Drive Encryption.
A) FileVault
B) BitLocker
C) SFTP
D) WPA2

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Windows uses BitLocker Drive Encryption for encrypting drives, protecting data from unauthorized access. FileVault is an encryption program used in macOS; SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a secure way of transferring files over the internet, and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II) is a security protocol used for securing wireless networks. However, none of these encryption methods are used in Microsoft Windows.

Question 5

An Internet-based crime is referred to as a(n)____ crime.
A) virtual
B) forensic
C) cyber
D) iTech

Accepted Answer

The commonly used term for crimes committed on the Internet or using computer technology is cybercrime.

Question 6

A ____ is commonly packaged with a new computer system.
A) token
B) keychain fob
C) rescue disk
D) scan

Accepted Answer

A rescue disk is commonly packaged with a new computer system. This disk contains tools that can help repair or restore the system in case of a problem. Tokens, keychain fobs, and scans are not typically packaged with new computer systems.

Question 7

A popular encryption method used to protect data that travels over a wireless network is ____.
A) WPA
B) FTPS
C) FTP
D) HTTPS

Accepted Answer

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a popular encryption method used to protect data that travels over a wireless network. It provides better security than its predecessor, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and is commonly used in home and business wireless networks. FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Secure) and HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) are encryption methods used to secure data during transfer, but they are not specific to wireless networks. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for transferring files, but it does not provide encryption for data transmitted over a network.

Question 8

Files can only be encrypted as they are opened.

Accepted Answer

Files can be encrypted at any time, not just when they are opened. They can also be encrypted before or after being saved.

Question 9

An individual who illegally downloads copyright-protected software is referred to as a ____.
A) cracker
B) plagiarist
C) pirate
D) hacker

Accepted Answer

A pirate is a person who illegally downloads or shares copyright-protected software, music, videos, or other materials without permission.

Question 10

Internet-based backup services in the cloud are a popular way to back up files for many users.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Internet-based backup services in the cloud are...

Question 11

The Mac computer employs the ____ system to encrypt its file data.
A) BitLocker Drive
B) FileVault
C) File Transfer Protocol
D) digital certificate

Accepted Answer

Mac computers use the FileVault system to encrypt their file data. BitLocker Drive is a Windows-based encryption system, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a protocol for transferring files between computers, and a digital certificate is a digital document used to authenticate the identity of a person, device, or organization. None of these are the encryption system used by Mac computers.

Question 12

A common form of authentication is a ____.
A) password
B) computer name
C) keystroke
D) RAID

Accepted Answer

A password is a common form of authentication where the user enters a secret code or phrase to prove their identity. Computer name, keystroke, and RAID are not authentication methods, but rather refer to other aspects of computer systems.

Question 13

Many businesses protect valuable information on a computer by limiting who uses it.

Accepted Answer

It is common practice for businesses to restrict access to sensitive information on a computer to authorized personnel only as a security measure.

Question 14

Information security is a growing concern due to the amount of important and sometimes private information stored digitally.

Accepted Answer

Information security is a growing concern because with the increasing amount of digital data, there is a greater risk of cyber attacks and data breaches. Protecting important and private information is crucial for individuals and organizations alike.

Question 15

Biometrics uses a token system to authenticate users of a device.

Accepted Answer

Biometrics does not use a token system for authentication. It uses physiological and behavioral characteristics such as fingerprints, facial features, or voice patterns to verify the identity of the user.
