   What is the core principle of reinforcement learning?

   • AAn agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment and receiving rewards or penalties for its actions.
   • BThe model learns from a fixed dataset of labeled examples.
   • CThe model uses a set of predefined rules to respond to inputs.
   • DThe model identifies clusters in unlabeled data.

   Why is the quality of training data important in cybersecurity AI models?

   • ABecause the data determines the number of layers in the neural network.
   • BBecause the model learns patterns from the data, and poor-quality data can lead to inaccurate threat detection.
   • CBecause the data is used to encrypt the model's communications.
   • DBecause the data is the only factor that determines the model's speed.

   A security team trains an AI model to detect malicious network traffic using a dataset that contains mostly traffic from their own corporate network. When deployed, the model performs well on internal traffic but poorly on traffic from other organizations. What is the most likely cause of this performance drop?

   • AThe model is overfitting to the test set
   • BThe model is using too many features
   • CThe model is underfitting the training data
   • DThe training data is not representative of the diverse traffic patterns the model will encounter in the real world

   A security team has a large dataset of network traffic, but only a small portion is labeled as malicious or benign. They want to build a model to detect malicious traffic. Which approach is most appropriate given the limited labeled data?

   • AUse reinforcement learning to learn from the network environment
   • BUse semi-supervised learning, leveraging the large amount of unlabeled data to improve the model
   • CUse unsupervised learning to cluster the data and then manually label all clusters
   • DUse supervised learning only with the labeled data, ignoring the unlabeled data
