CISM study material · question 784 of 1000

NIST distinguishes escalation from elevation in incident response. Which pairing is correct?

  1. Escalation increases resources or time frames; elevation involves a higher level of management
  2. Escalation involves drawing in the management; elevation increases the resources or the time frames allowed
  3. Escalation is internal; elevation is external
  4. The two terms are interchangeable
Show the answer

Answer: A. Escalation increases resources or time frames; elevation involves a higher level of management

SP 800-61r3 keeps the two apart: escalation means more resources or longer time frames, elevation means drawing a higher level of management into the response.
