What is the primary payload behavior of ransomware?

Silently monitoring user activity

Encrypting files and demanding payment for decryption

Displaying unwanted advertisements

Deleting system files to cause crashes

A security architect is planning for the future. The company stores sensitive data that must remain confidential for the next 20 years. The architect is concerned that an attacker could capture encrypted data today and decrypt it later using a quantum computer. Which threat is the architect preparing for?

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) threat

How does a brute-force attack compromise credentials?

By tricking users into revealing their passwords

By intercepting network traffic to capture passwords

By systematically trying many possible passwords until the correct one is found

By exploiting a vulnerability in the authentication server

Part of the Security Concepts domain, which accounts for 20% of the 350-701 exam. Cisco does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~10–16 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 45 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
