How do we influence the adversary's decision-making while protecting our operations?
Correct Answer
B. By integrating the capabilities of influence operations, electronic warfare ops and network warfare ops in concert.
Explanation
By integrating the capabilities of influence operations, electronic warfare ops, and network warfare ops in concert, we can effectively influence the adversary's decision-making while also protecting our own operations. This approach allows us to combine various strategies and tactics to shape the adversary's perception, disrupt their communication and information systems, and exploit vulnerabilities in their networks. By coordinating these efforts, we can maximize our ability to influence the adversary's decision-making process while minimizing the risk to our own operations.

This type of system typically implement a distributed database, commonly referred to as a "tag database", which contains data elements called tags or points.
Correct Answer
A. SCADA
Explanation
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems typically implement a distributed database known as a "tag database". This database contains data elements called tags or points. These tags represent various parameters and variables that the SCADA system monitors and controls in real-time. The distributed nature of the database allows for efficient data storage and retrieval across multiple devices and locations. SCADA systems use this tag database to collect and analyze data from remote devices and provide control and monitoring capabilities for industrial processes.

Who is the focal point for Tier-2 (regional level) execution of enterprise network security and centralizes those aspects of network security previously performed by the MAJCOM NOSC's?
Correct Answer
D. I-NOSC
Explanation
The I-NOSC (Installation Network Operations and Security Center) is the focal point for Tier-2 execution of enterprise network security at the regional level. It centralizes the aspects of network security that were previously performed by the MAJCOM NOSC's (Major Command Network Operations and Security Centers). The I-NOSC is responsible for managing and securing the network infrastructure at the installation level, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the network resources.

What center is the execution arm for the AFNetOps/CC for the command and control of Air Force networks?
Correct Answer
B. AFNOC
Explanation
AFNOC, which stands for Air Force Network Operations Center, is the correct answer. AFNOC serves as the execution arm for the AFNetOps/CC, meaning it is responsible for carrying out the command and control of Air Force networks. It plays a vital role in monitoring, analyzing, and managing the Air Force's network operations to ensure their effectiveness and security.
5.
What Air Force command is appointed as the primary for cyberspace missions?
Correct Answer
A. AFSPC
Explanation
AFSPC stands for Air Force Space Command, which is responsible for organizing, training, and equipping forces for cyberspace missions. As the primary command for cyberspace operations, AFSPC ensures the security and effectiveness of Air Force networks, systems, and information. This command plays a crucial role in defending against cyber threats and conducting offensive cyber operations to support military objectives.
6.
Who is responsible for the networthiness of information technology systems?
Correct Answer
D. Information system owners
Explanation
Information system owners are responsible for the networthiness of information technology systems. They are accountable for ensuring that the systems they own meet the necessary security requirements and are in compliance with established standards and regulations. This includes implementing appropriate security measures, conducting regular risk assessments, and maintaining the overall integrity and confidentiality of the information stored and processed by the systems. The other options listed (MAJCOM, AFSPC, and I-NOSC) are not directly responsible for the networthiness of information technology systems.
7.
Check all that apply. What are the two divisions that are a functional part of the AFNOC?
Correct Answer(s)
A. NOD
D. NSD
Explanation
The two divisions that are a functional part of the AFNOC are NOD (Network Operations Division) and NSD (Network Support Division). These divisions play an important role in the functioning and support of the AFNOC. NOD is responsible for the day-to-day network operations and monitoring, while NSD provides network support and assistance to users. Together, these divisions ensure the smooth operation and maintenance of the AFNOC network.
8.
Who's goal is it to provide effective, efficient, secure and reliable information network services used in critical DOD and Air Force C&I processes?
Correct Answer
D. AFNETOPS
Explanation
AFNETOPS is responsible for providing effective, efficient, secure, and reliable information network services used in critical DOD and Air Force C&I processes. This means that AFNETOPS is the organization or entity whose goal is to ensure the smooth functioning of information network services in these processes.
9.
What does the SCADA do? Choose the best definition.
Correct Answer
A. Monitor and control centralized systems for industrial sites, or complexes of systems spread out over large areas (WAN).
Explanation
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is a system that is used to monitor and control centralized systems for industrial sites or complexes of systems spread out over large areas, typically referred to as Wide Area Networks (WAN). This system allows operators to remotely monitor and control various processes and devices, collect data, and make informed decisions based on real-time information. It is an essential tool in industries such as manufacturing, energy, and utilities, where efficient and centralized control is required over a wide geographical area.
10.
The DOD IT DISR have minimum set of standards and guidelines for the acquisition of all DOD IT systems that produce, use, or exchange information.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement is true because the DOD IT DISR (Department of Defense Information Technology (IT) Standards Registry) does indeed have a minimum set of standards and guidelines for the acquisition of all DOD IT systems. These standards and guidelines ensure that the IT systems used by the Department of Defense adhere to certain requirements and specifications, particularly in terms of producing, using, or exchanging information.

13.
How do defensive operations handle network intrusions?
Correct Answer
B. They detect and deny access when unauthorized intrusions are attempted, determine the source, minimize the effectiveness and help to recover in a timely manner.
Explanation
Defensive operations handle network intrusions by detecting and denying access when unauthorized intrusions are attempted. They also determine the source of the intrusion, minimize its effectiveness, and assist in recovering from the incident in a timely manner.
14.
How do offensive operations support US cyberspace objectives?
Correct Answer
C. By denying, degrading, disrupting, destroying, or altering the adversary's ability to use cyberspace.
Explanation
Offensive operations support US cyberspace objectives by denying, degrading, disrupting, destroying, or altering the adversary's ability to use cyberspace. This means that through offensive operations, the US aims to hinder and weaken the capabilities of potential adversaries in cyberspace, preventing them from effectively utilizing it. This approach helps to protect US interests and maintain the security and integrity of US cyberspace.
