Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 99

How is an “attack” represented?

Answer options

• A. Motive (goal) + method
• B. Motive (goal) + method + vulnerability
• C. Asset + Threat + Vulnerability
• D. Asset + Threat

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it accurately includes motive, method, and vulnerability, which are essential for defining an attack. Options A and D lack the critical element of vulnerability, while option C includes an asset and threat but omits the motive and method, making them insufficient to fully represent an attack.
