A security architect is designing a new system that must protect data for 30 years. The architect is concerned about the 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat. Which cryptographic approach should be recommended?

Use longer key lengths for current algorithms

Use a hardware security module (HSM)

Use post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms

Use symmetric encryption with a 256-bit key

In a hybrid environment, which element is often exploited as a trust boundary between on-premises and cloud resources?

The VPN or dedicated connection

What is a vulnerability of AI systems themselves that attackers can exploit?

Lack of encryption in AI models

Adversarial inputs that cause the AI to make incorrect decisions

Physical damage to the AI hardware

AI systems are immune to attacks

What is the primary threat that quantum computers pose to current cryptographic algorithms?

They can intercept all network traffic

They can break symmetric encryption like AES by brute force

They can break asymmetric algorithms like RSA and ECC by efficiently solving the mathematical problems they rely on

They can physically damage cryptographic hardware

How can AI be used offensively in phishing attacks?

By physically breaking into data centers

By automatically generating highly personalized and convincing phishing messages

By flooding a network with traffic

Domain 1Objective 1

1.1 Explain Attack Threats Against On-Premises, Hybrid, and Cloud Environments Such as Viruses, Trojans, DoS/DDoS, Phishing, Rootkits, Man-In-The Middle, Malware, Data Breaches, Insecure APIs, Compromised Credentials, PQC, and AI 350-701 Practice Questions (Page 4)

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.
