   A logistics company uses an AI-based route optimization system. The system relies on GPS data from delivery trucks. During a recent outage, a truck's GPS failed, and the driver entered the location manually, causing a delay. The company wants to reduce the risk of similar delays. Which mitigation is most directly aligned with the identified risk?

   • AImplement a SIEM system to monitor the GPS data feeds for anomalies.
   • BAdd a secondary GPS receiver to each truck to provide redundancy for the primary GPS.
   • CRequire drivers to attend additional training on manual data entry procedures.
   • DConduct a penetration test on the route optimization system's web portal.

   A smart factory is deploying an AI-based predictive maintenance system. The system will have access to control systems that manage heavy machinery. The factory's safety team is concerned about the risk of the AI system making a mistake that could cause physical harm to workers. Which Security-by-Design practice is most directly aligned with mitigating this risk?

   • AConduct a vulnerability scan on the control systems to identify known software weaknesses.
   • BEncrypt all communication between the AI system and the control systems.
   • CUse a least privilege access model for the AI system's service account.
   • DImplement a human-in-the-loop control where a human operator must approve any automated shutdown command.

   An autonomous delivery robot company is testing its vehicles in a suburban neighborhood. During a test, a robot fails to detect a pedestrian due to a sensor malfunction caused by heavy rain. The company wants to mitigate the risk of similar failures in the future. Which mitigation is most directly aligned with the identified risk?

   • AAdd redundant sensors of a different type (e.g., lidar in addition to cameras) to improve detection in adverse weather.
   • BIncrease the robot's maximum speed to reduce the time it spends in the neighborhood.
   • CConduct a security audit of the robot's wireless communication links.
   • DRequire all operators to undergo additional training on robot maintenance.

   A retail company is deploying an AI-based inventory management system. The system is connected to the company's internal network and the internet for supplier updates. The security team wants to identify potential vulnerabilities in the system before it goes live. Which tool is most appropriate for this task?

   • AA threat model to map potential attack vectors against the system.
   • BA vulnerability scanner to identify known weaknesses in the system's software and configuration.
   • CA SIEM system to aggregate and analyze logs from the inventory system after deployment.
   • DA penetration testing framework to actively exploit vulnerabilities in the system.
