1. Why are endpoints considered a major security risk?
Endpoints often provide direct access to company systems and sensitive data Endpoints cannot be secured effectively Endpoint attacks only affect local devices Endpoint security is managed entirely by internet providers
2. Which of the following BEST aligns with secure BYOD practices?
Using personal devices without security controls for convenience Sharing personal devices freely with family members while logged into company systems Disabling device encryption to improve performance Following approved BYOD policies and security requirements
3. Why is patch management important?
Patching removes the need for antivirus software Patching guarantees devices cannot be compromised Unpatched systems are commonly targeted by attackers Updates are only cosmetic improvements
4. A consultant connects an unknown USB device found in a meeting room to a company laptop “to identify the owner”. Why is this risky?
USB devices may contain malware or malicious payloads USB devices automatically disable MFA USB devices cannot be monitored by endpoint security tools USB usage is prohibited legally in all circumstances
5. Which of the following is a secure remote working practice?
Using public Wi-Fi without protection for convenience Using approved VPNs and secure networks where required Sharing work devices with family members temporarily Disabling security software to improve connection speeds
6. Why should employees report lost or stolen devices immediately?
Rapid reporting supports containment and reduces risk Reporting is only required if the device contains financial data Devices can be replaced later without security impact Reporting is optional for encrypted devices
7. Which action BEST protects sensitive information stored on endpoints?
Saving client exports to personal cloud accounts Sharing files through unmanaged applications Disabling screen locks for convenience Using approved encryption and secure storage locations
8. Which of the following is an example of shadow IT?
Using approved enterprise collaboration tools Installing unauthorised applications or cloud services without approval Following change management processes Applying security updates promptly
9. Why are mobile devices considered high-risk endpoints?
Mobile devices cannot use MFA Mobile devices are isolated from cloud systems They often contain sensitive data and authentication methods Mobile operating systems do not require patching
10. What should employees do if malware is suspected on a device?
Ignore it unless files are deleted automatically Continue working normally to avoid disruption Report the issue immediately and follow security guidance Attempt undocumented remediation independently
11. Which of the following BEST demonstrates poor endpoint security practice?
Applying security updates promptly Using approved endpoint protection software Disabling antivirus software to improve performance Locking devices when unattended
12. Why is device encryption important?
Encryption removes the need for authentication controls Encryption prevents all malware infections Encryption replaces patch management requirements It helps protect data if devices are lost or stolen
13. Which statement about endpoint monitoring is MOST accurate?
Monitoring supports threat detection and incident response Monitoring removes the need for user responsibility Endpoints should never generate audit logs Monitoring is only required after security incidents occur
14. Which of the following presents the GREATEST endpoint risk?
Using approved MFA-protected company devices Connecting unmanaged personal devices to sensitive systems without controls Applying operating system updates regularly Using approved password managers
15. What is the BEST response to repeated unexpected MFA prompts on a company-managed device?
Approve one request to stop notifications Ignore the prompts permanently Treat the activity as suspicious and report it immediately Disable MFA temporarily
16. Why should employees avoid downloading software from untrusted sources?
Downloaded software cannot be patched later Untrusted applications improve endpoint visibility Browser protections eliminate all software risks automatically Untrusted software may introduce malware or security vulnerabilities
17. Which statement about BYOD usage is MOST accurate?
BYOD removes the need for endpoint protection controls Personal devices cannot create security risks for organisations BYOD policies only apply to mobile phones Personal devices used for work must still meet security requirements
18. Which of the following should ALWAYS be reported?
Malware detections or suspicious endpoint activity Approved software installations through authorised channels Standard operating system updates Routine password changes
19. What is the BEST overall approach to endpoint security?
Prioritise convenience over security controls during remote work Protect devices, credentials, applications, and data consistently Allow unmanaged applications where operationally useful Reduce monitoring to minimise operational overhead
20. Which behaviour BEST supports secure endpoint management?
Following patching, authentication, and reporting procedures consistently Sharing devices between colleagues during busy periods Delaying security updates indefinitely to avoid disruption Storing sensitive client data locally without controls
