    • Modem.

    • Switch.

    • Router.

    Correct Answer
    A. Media converter.
    Explanation
    A media converter is a device that converts the electrical signal used in copper unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cabling to light waves used for fiber optic cabling. This conversion allows for the transmission of data over longer distances and at higher speeds. A modem is used to connect a computer or network to the internet, a switch is used to connect multiple devices within a network, and a router is used to connect multiple networks together. None of these devices specifically convert electrical signals to light waves like a media converter does.

    Which computer system vulnerability is not one in a computer system?

    • Attacker’s capability to exploit the flaw.

    • System’s susceptibility to a flaw.

    • Attacker’s access to the flaw.

    • Attacker’s lack of ability.

    Correct Answer
    A. Attacker’s lack of ability.
    Explanation
    The given answer, "Attacker's lack of ability," suggests that it is not a computer system vulnerability. In the context of computer security, vulnerabilities refer to weaknesses or flaws in a system that can be exploited by attackers. The other options, such as the attacker's capability to exploit the flaw, the system's susceptibility to a flaw, and the attacker's access to the flaw, all relate to vulnerabilities and their potential exploitation. Therefore, the answer implies that the lack of ability on the part of an attacker is not considered a vulnerability in a computer system.

    Which incidents occur when a higher classification level of data transfers to a lower classification level system via a messaging system? 

    • Classified message incident.

    • Eavesdropping.

    • Data Spillage.

    • Backdoor.

    Correct Answer
    A. Classified message incident.
    Explanation
    When a higher classification level of data transfers to a lower classification level system via a messaging system, it is referred to as a classified message incident. This means that sensitive information is being transmitted to a system that is not authorized to handle that level of classified data. This can pose a risk as the lower classification level system may not have the necessary security measures in place to protect the sensitive information.
