Answer: Hunting
Threat hunting uses hypotheses, analytics, and analyst expertise to find hidden adversaries. Complements automated detection. Critical for advanced persistent threat defense.
Which technology provides centralized logging and analysis for security events?
- SIEM
- Log Management
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
SIEM platforms aggregate logs from network, endpoint, application sources, enabling correlation, alerting, and investigation. Foundation for modern security operations.
Continuous training automatically retrains models when performance degrades or new data arrives.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Continuous training pipelines monitor data drift, performance metrics, and trigger retraining with validation. Critical for maintaining ML system relevance in dynamic environments.
Which practice ensures ML models are tested for fairness across demographic groups?
- Bias Audits
- Fairness Metrics
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Fairness testing: bias audits detect disparate impact, fairness metrics (demographic parity, equalized odds) quantify equity. Critical for ethical AI deployment in regulated sectors.
Instruction tuning adapts LLMs to follow user instructions by training on prompt-response pairs.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Instruction tuning fine-tunes LLMs on datasets of instructions and desired responses, improving task completion and helpfulness. Foundation for chat-optimized models.
Which technique enables LLMs to answer questions by retrieving relevant passages from documents?
- Fine-tuning
- RAG
- Prompt Engineering
- All of these
Answer: RAG
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines LLMs with vector search over document collections, grounding responses in verified sources. Reduces hallucinations and enables knowledge updates.
The international organization that develops global internet governance policies is called Internet ________.
- Platform
- Firewall
- RTI Online
- Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers / ICANN
Answer: Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers / ICANN
ICANN coordinates domain names, IP addresses, protocol parameters. Multi-stakeholder model ensures open, interoperable internet. India participates through government and civil society.
Which initiative provides a unified interface for citizens to access government services?
- UMANG
- MyGov
- DigiLocker
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Digital India ecosystem: UMANG for service delivery, MyGov for citizen engagement, DigiLocker for documents. Integrated approach for inclusive digital governance.
The Indian policy for promoting research and development in emerging technologies is called National Mission on ________.
- NIA / CBI Cyber Cell
- Second
- Carbon
- Interdisciplinary Cyber Physical Systems / NM-ICPS
Answer: Interdisciplinary Cyber Physical Systems / NM-ICPS
NM-ICPS (DST) funds R&D in AI, IoT, robotics, quantum technologies. Aims to build indigenous capabilities and innovation ecosystem. Critical for strategic technology questions.
Hyperparameter tuning optimizes model performance by searching parameter combinations.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Hyperparameter tuning: grid search, random search, Bayesian optimization. Critical for maximizing model performance but requires careful validation to avoid overfitting.
Which visualization shows the distribution of a variable across categories?
- Box Plot
- Violin Plot
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Box plots show median, quartiles, outliers; violin plots add density estimation. Both effective for comparing distributions across categories. Critical for exploratory data analysis.
The technique that splits data into training and testing sets while preserving class distribution is called ________ Sampling.
- Parquet
- Stratified
- OECD / UNESCO
- Principle, Privilege
Answer: Stratified
Stratified sampling maintains class proportions in train/test splits, critical for imbalanced classification tasks. Prevents evaluation bias from skewed splits.
Content Delivery Networks cache content at edge locations to reduce latency for global users.
- True
- False
Answer: True
CDNs (CloudFront, Cloud CDN) distribute content to edge locations near users, reducing latency and origin load. Critical for global application performance and user experience.
Which service provides managed relational databases with automatic backups and scaling?
- RDS
- Cloud SQL
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Managed databases (AWS RDS, GCP Cloud SQL) handle provisioning, patching, backups, scaling. Reduces operational overhead vs self-managed databases. Critical for cloud application development.
The process of documenting and analyzing security incidents for improvement is called Post-________ Review.
- Accountability
- Village
- SWAYAM / NPTEL
- Incident
Answer: Incident
Post-incident review captures lessons learned: what happened, response effectiveness, root causes, improvements. Critical for continuous security program maturity.
Which technique identifies phishing emails by analyzing sender reputation and content patterns?
- SPF/DKIM
- Machine Learning
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Email security combines: SPF/DKIM for authentication, ML for content analysis, heuristics for known patterns. Layered defense critical for phishing protection.
A/B testing compares model versions in production to measure business impact.
- True
- False
Answer: True
A/B testing randomly assigns users to model variants, measuring metrics like conversion, engagement. Critical for data-driven model iteration and business value validation.
Which practice ensures ML models are versioned alongside code and data for reproducibility?
- DVC
- MLflow
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
MLOps tools: DVC versions data and models, MLflow tracks experiments and deployments. Combined with Git for end-to-end reproducibility. Critical for enterprise ML governance.
