Question #: 43
Topic #: 5
Which term describes assessing the ability of a unit equipped with a system to support its mission while withstanding cyber threat activity representative of an actual adversary?
The term Adversarial Assessment is formally defined in DoD cyber terminology. It describes testing that evaluates a unit or system’s ability to perform its mission while facing simulated cyber threat activity representative of a real-world adversary.
Supporting Extracts from Official Content:
DoD Cybersecurity Test and Evaluation Guidebook: “Adversarial Assessment: Test conducted to evaluate a unit’s ability to support its mission while withstanding cyber threat activity representative of an actual adversary.”
Why Option D is Correct:
A penetration test is narrower and focuses on identifying vulnerabilities.
Black hat testing is not an official DoD or CMMC term.
Red cell assessment refers more broadly to force-on-force exercises and is not the term used in CMMC/governing DoD definitions.
