Cybersecurity Threats And Defenses Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This easy quiz focuses on recognizing common cyber threats and matching them to practical defenses you can use at work or at home.

Each question uses a simple multiple-choice format with 4 options and no timer, so you can think through the safest choice without rushing.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many beginners mix up similar concepts (like phishing vs. spam, or antivirus vs. firewall) or assume the “most technical” answer is always correct.

Watch for wording traps such as “always” and “never,” and remember that good security often relies on layered defenses rather than a single tool.

Difficulty and quiz settings

Difficulty is balanced by starting with clear, everyday scenarios and gradually introducing slightly closer lookalikes (for example, social engineering variants) while keeping terminology beginner-friendly.

You can choose your question count and difficulty before you start: fewer questions are great for a quick check-in, while longer quizzes help reinforce patterns and retention.
