Test yourself

This section will contain common scenarios when assessing your cybersecurity knowledge, skill and abilities (part of the competency model). The questions or tasks are randomly selected for the following areas:

1. Strategic governance and risk leadership
2. Cybersecurity program and operating model leadership
3. Technical and architectural oversight
4. Assurance, compliance, and audit engagement
5. Human, culture, and stakeholder leadership
6. Crisis, resilience, and incident leadership
7. Continuous improvement, innovation, and learning

Using them may help you to assess your strength and weaknesses and even if the answers or solutions can depend on context and don't have to be black and white, they should at least show what to expect in a real role of a cybersecurity leader.

The people around you, from managers to techies to end-users will expect you to know these things.
