What does the term 'biometrics' refer to in security systems?

Using biological organisms for data storage

Verifying identity through physical or behavioral characteristics

Encrypting data using biological algorithms

Tracking biological threats in a network

What is the purpose of a 'VPN' (Virtual Private Network) in security?

To create a secure connection over a public network

To physically isolate a private network

To analyze network traffic for security threats

#10

What is the purpose of 'Data Loss Prevention' (DLP) software?

To recover lost data from backup systems

To prevent sensitive data from being leaked or lost

To detect and remove viruses from a system

To optimize data storage and retrieval

#11

Which of the following is a characteristic of asymmetric encryption?

Uses the same key for encryption and decryption

Is faster than symmetric encryption

Requires a public and private key pair

Primarily used for bulk data encryption

#12

What is the difference between symmetric and asymmetric encryption?

Symmetric encryption uses a single key for both encryption and decryption, while asymmetric encryption uses different keys.

Asymmetric encryption is faster than symmetric encryption.

Symmetric encryption is more secure than asymmetric encryption.

Asymmetric encryption is used for encrypting data at rest, while symmetric encryption is used for encrypting data in motion.
