Actual exam question for PECB's Lead-Cybersecurity-Manager exam

Question #: 10
Topic #: 3

[All Lead-Cybersecurity-Manager Questions]

Which of the following activities does not ensure the ongoing security of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS)?

AEncrypting IDS management communications

BCreating unique user and administrator account for every IDS system

CReporting IDS alerts of malicious transactions to interested parties

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Reporting IDS alerts of malicious transactions to interested parties does not ensure the ongoing security of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). While it is important for situational awareness and incident response, it does not directly contribute to the security and maintenance of the IDS itself. Ensuring ongoing security of an IDS involves activities such as encrypting IDS management communications and creating unique user and administrator accounts for every IDS system, which help protect the IDS from being compromised. Reference include NIST SP 800-94, which provides guidelines for securing IDS systems.

I think C could still be useful, but not for ongoing security.

C doesn't really help security, just informs people.

I vaguely recall that not all activities are equally effective for ongoing security, but I can't remember which one was the odd one out.

Reporting alerts seems like it should be part of the process, but I wonder if it really contributes to the ongoing security of the IDS.

I remember a practice question where creating unique accounts was emphasized as a best practice, so I feel like that one is definitely important.

I think encrypting management communications is crucial for security, but I'm not sure if it directly impacts the ongoing security of the IDS itself.

I've got a strategy for this. I'll eliminate the options that are clearly related to ongoing IDS security, and then choose the one that doesn't fit.

Okay, let's see. I think the key is to focus on the ongoing security of the IDS system itself, not just its functionality.
