Fred identified that his organization was vulnerable to mainly two risks:
a. One was a sudden power outage that could damage critical data.
b. Second was the malicious attachment in an email. Since Fred’s organization received many emails enquiring about the services from unknown sources.
To face these risks, Fred decided to take some cautionary measures. Despite his office being in a locality where power was seldom disrupted, there had been instances in the past when the authorities shut down power without warning owing to an oncoming storm. Hence, Fred had a backup generator installed. Then, Fred asked his IT team to install a malware and spam protection software at the mail server to scan all the emails coming to the organization. Additionally, he also had an eight-hour backup system installed in his organization’s server room. This would give him enough time to properly power down the servers. These two steps by him greatly mitigated the two primary risks faced by his organization. Which process did Fred go through?
Which of the following terms refers to the ease with which technicians can resolve or replace failing components or systems?
ABC Investment Bank is implementing a security and disaster recovery plan. As part of the plan, it sets up several remote data centers across the globe. The objective was to not have all the records of any one important client at one location but to distribute chunks of it throughout these centers. This was so if any one of the centers is compromised, the attacker will not have only chunks of data and will not be able to use it maliciously against the bank’s clients. One other advantage of this is that if a center is struck by a disaster, all the data about a client’s portfolio is not lost. For this plan to work, a percentage of deviation should not exist between the actual and targeted business data. Which recovery metric best defines this percentage of deviation?
