Question 1: What is the role of encryption in securing data transmission between systems in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Encryption is only needed for static data storage and not for transmission

Encryption reduces system performance by introducing delays

Encryption is unnecessary for internal communication networks

Encryption protects sensitive data from interception during transmission, ensuring confidentiality and integrity

Question 2: What is the significance of multi-factor authentication (MFA) in securing access to critical systems in chemical plants?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

MFA slows down access without significantly improving security

MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring multiple verification factors before granting access

MFA only improves the user experience without enhancing security

MFA is primarily useful for public-facing websites, not internal systems

Question 3: What is the role of penetration testing in identifying vulnerabilities in chemical plant IT systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Penetration testing eliminates the need for other forms of vulnerability assessment

Penetration testing is only relevant for public-facing applications

Penetration testing simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited

Penetration testing focuses only on physical security aspects

Question 4: What is the role of SAP's Customer Relationship Management (CRM) module in supporting sales in a chemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

CRM is used exclusively for accounting, not for managing customer relations

CRM is used to track chemical production only, not customer interactions

CRM replaces the need for physical sales offices by automating the entire sales process

CRM helps manage customer interactions, orders, and feedback, improving sales forecasting and customer satisfaction

Question 5: When designing a security architecture for industrial control systems (ICS), what is the most critical consideration?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Using only proprietary software to prevent external access

Restricting all data communication to physical devices

Ensuring that ICS components are isolated from the general IT network to minimize vulnerabilities

Ensuring that ICS is fully integrated with enterprise-wide IT systems

Question 6: What is the main reason for using a demilitarized zone (DMZ) in the network architecture of a petrochemical plant?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To simplify the configuration of firewalls and access controls

To isolate critical systems from external threats while allowing controlled access

To centralize all network traffic through a single entry point

To reduce the need for internal security measures
