- A
Supply chain vulnerabilities
Why wrong: Supply chain issues relate to third-party components, not direct data handling.
- B
Model denial of service
Why wrong: DoS attacks disrupt service availability, not data privacy.
- C
Overreliance
Why wrong: Overreliance is a behavioral risk, not a data handling risk.
- D
Training data poisoning
Poisoning corrupts training data, affecting model integrity and potentially injecting backdoors.
- E
Sensitive information disclosure
This risk involves the LLM leaking confidential data in its outputs.
AI0-001 AI Security Practice Question
This AI0-001 practice question tests your understanding of ai security. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A security team is auditing an AI system and identifies risks related to the OWASP LLM Top 10. Which TWO risks are directly associated with data handling and privacy? (Select two.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Training data poisoning
Training data poisoning (D) is directly associated with data handling because it involves an attacker corrupting the training dataset to manipulate the model's behavior, which compromises data integrity and privacy. Sensitive information disclosure (E) is directly associated with privacy because it occurs when the model inadvertently reveals confidential data from its training set or user inputs, violating data confidentiality. Both risks are explicitly tied to how data is collected, stored, and processed in the AI lifecycle.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Cisco often tests the distinction between risks that affect data integrity/privacy (like poisoning and disclosure) versus those affecting availability, trust, or supply chain, so candidates mistakenly select overreliance or supply chain vulnerabilities because they seem related to data but are actually about user behavior or third-party dependencies.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Training data poisoning can be executed via label flipping or gradient manipulation during federated learning, where a malicious participant injects crafted samples to skew decision boundaries. Sensitive information disclosure often manifests through model inversion attacks, where an adversary queries the model to reconstruct training data, or through membership inference attacks that determine if a specific record was used in training. Real-world examples include a chatbot leaking credit card numbers from its training corpus or a medical AI revealing patient diagnoses via output patterns.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the AI0-001 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
