Alternate processing center or mirrored site

During which step of the incident-handling process does triage take place? A. Response B. Recovery and follow-up C. Notification D. Identification

Identification

Isabella is an IT security manager for a state agency. The agency can survive for nine hours without a functioning data center. If the power goes out in her data center, Isabella estimates it will take six hours to move data center operations to an alternate site. Which of the following describes how long the agency can survive without a functioning data center? A. Recovery time objective (RTO) B. Recovery point objective (RPO) C. Maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) D. Critical business function (CBF)

Maximum tolerable downtime (MTD)

During which step of the incident-handling process do you develop a formal communication plan and identify all key stakeholders? A. Documentation B. Notification C. Preparation D. Identification

Preparation

Arturo is an IT manager for a school district. He is planning recovery options for a small data center that supports teacher and classroom activities for 5 of the 21 schools in his district. Many school districts in his state use similar classroom technology. Arturo is looking for a temporary alternate site that would be easy to cut over to and is affordable. Which option is most likely to fit Arturo's needs? A. Reciprocal center B. Service provider that has extra capacity C. Reciprocal agreement with another school district D. Contingency carrier

Reciprocal agreement with another school district

During which step of the incident-handling process should a lessons-learned review of the incident be conducted? A. Recovery and follow-up B. Response C. Documentation D. Notification

Recovery and follow-up

Isabella is an IT security manager for a state agency. The agency can survive for nine hours without a functioning data center. The power goes out in her data center. It takes six hours to move data center operations to an alternate site. Which of the following describes the time it takes for the move? A. Mean time to failure (MTTF) B. Critical business function (CBF) C. Recovery time objective (RTO) D. Recovery point objective (RPO)

Recovery time objective (RTO)

A(n) _________ is an event that prevents a critical business function (CBF) from operating for a period greater than the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD). A. incident B. contingency C. violation D. disaster

disaster

True or False? A business impact analysis (BIA) details the steps to recover from a disruption and restore the infrastructure necessary for normal business operations.

false

True or False? All types of disaster recovery sites are available in the cloud.

false

True or False? Clustering comprises multiple disk drives that appear as a single disk drive but actually store multiple copies of data in case a disk drive in the array fails.

false

True or False? During a simulation test of a contingency plan, you must shut down the original system at the primary site for the duration.

false

True or False? A parallel test of a contingency plan is the same as a full-interruption test except that processing does not stop at the primary site.

true

True or False? A successful business impact analysis (BIA) maps the context, the critical business functions (CBFs), and the processes on which they rely.

true

True or False? An organization can maintain a cloud-based disaster recovery site for a fraction of the cost of a physical site.

true

True or False? Any component that, if it fails, could interrupt business processing is called a single point of failure (SPOF).

true

True or False? Business continuity management includes business continuity planning, disaster recovery planning, crisis management, incident response management, and risk management.

true

True or False? Examples of major disruptions include extreme weather, application failure, and criminal activity

true

True or False? Fault-tolerance options are not replacements for data backups

true

True or False? Generally, once evidence becomes inadmissible, it cannot be fixed.

true

True or False? In an incremental backup, you start with a full backup when network traffic is light. Then, each night, you back up only that day's changes.

true

During which step of the incident-handling process is the goal to contain the incident? A. Response B. Notification C. Identification D. Recovery and follow-up

Response

Carl has assembled a team of representatives from each department to test a new business continuity plan (BCP). During the test, the representatives meet in a room and review many aspects of the plan, such as the goals, scope, assumptions, and the structure of the organization. They also conduct scenario-based exercises as though they are executing the plan for a certain type of incident to find errors, such as gaps or overlaps. What type of plan is being conducted? A. Parallel B. Simulation C. Structured walk-through D. Checklist

Structured walk-through

Joe is responsible for the security of the systems that control and monitor devices for a power plant. What type of system does Joe likely administer? A. Mainframe B. Mobile fleet C. Embedded robotic systems D. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
