- True
- False
Answer: True
India Semiconductor Mission implements ₹76,000 crore incentive scheme for fabs, display fabs, ATMP, design. Partnerships with global players announced.
Which physical system is commonly used for implementing qubits in quantum computers?
- Superconducting circuits
- Trapped ions
- Photonic circuits
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Leading qubit implementations: superconducting (IBM, Google), trapped ions (IonQ), photonic (Xanadu). Each has trade-offs in coherence, scalability, error rates.
India's National Mission on Quantum Technologies allocates ₹________ crore over 5 years.
- 26.5-40
- 76,000
- 8000
- 115BBH
Answer: 8000
NM-QTA funds quantum computing, communication, sensing, materials research. Implemented by DST with IITs, IISc participation.
The Right to Data Portability allows individuals to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used format.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Right to Portability (GDPR Article 20) enables individuals to obtain and reuse personal data across services. Promotes competition and user control.
Which regulation requires data breach notification within 72 hours in the EU?
- GDPR
- ePrivacy Directive
- NIS Directive
- All of these
Answer: GDPR
GDPR Article 33 requires breach notification to supervisory authority within 72 hours of awareness. Critical for incident response compliance.
The principle that requires using personal data only for specified, explicit purposes is called ________ Limitation.
- Serverless / Athena
- Artemis
- Thought
- Purpose
Answer: Purpose
Purpose Limitation prevents function creep by ensuring data is used only as consented. Core principle in GDPR, DPDP Act, and global privacy frameworks.
Membership inference attacks determine whether specific individuals were in a model's training dataset.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Membership inference exploits model confidence to infer training data membership. Mitigation: differential privacy, regularization, output perturbation.
Which attack manipulates training data to cause targeted misclassifications during inference?
- Data Poisoning
- Backdoor Attack
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Data poisoning injects malicious samples; backdoor attacks embed triggers that activate misclassification. Both compromise model integrity during training.
Runtime security monitoring detects anomalous behavior in running containers and Kubernetes workloads.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Runtime security (Falco, Tetragon) monitors system calls, network activity, file access in real-time to detect threats in containerized environments.
Which Kubernetes security feature restricts pod capabilities to prevent privilege escalation?
- Security Context
- Pod Security Standards
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Security Context defines pod/container privileges; Pod Security Standards enforce baseline/restricted policies. Both critical for container security.
The practice of scanning Infrastructure as Code templates for security misconfigurations is called ________ Scanning.
- IaC / Infrastructure as Code
- FOSS / Free and Open Source Software
- Parameter
- FATF / Financial Action Task Force
Answer: IaC / Infrastructure as Code
IaC scanning (Checkov, tfsec) analyzes Terraform/CloudFormation for misconfigurations before deployment. Critical for shift-left security in DevOps.
Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) implements Zero Trust by hiding infrastructure until authentication is complete.
- True
- False
Answer: True
SDP creates dynamic, identity-based perimeters: resources invisible until user/device authenticated and authorized. Critical for reducing attack surface.
Which technology enables continuous authentication by analyzing user behavior patterns?
- Behavioral Biometrics
- Adaptive Authentication
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Behavioral biometrics analyzes typing, mouse movements; adaptive authentication adjusts requirements based on risk. Both enable continuous verification in Zero Trust.
The framework that provides guidelines for implementing Zero Trust Architecture is called NIST SP ________.
- 194S
- 1,00,000
- 800-207
- 20
Answer: 800-207
NIST SP 800-207 provides comprehensive Zero Trust guidance: identity verification, device trust, network segmentation, continuous monitoring.
The Digital India Act proposal includes provisions for regulating algorithmic transparency and platform accountability.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Digital India Act aims to address: platform accountability, user rights, emerging tech governance, algorithmic transparency. Complements DPDP Act and IT Rules.
