CISM study material · question 953 of 1000

Which operational benefit does NIST attribute to prompt notification of an impending disruption?

  1. It shortens the recovery point objective for the affected data
  2. It allows the assessment phase to be skipped
  3. It can buy enough time to shut a system down gracefully instead of letting it crash hard
  4. It removes the need to declare a disaster formally
Show the answer

Answer: C. It can buy enough time to shut a system down gracefully instead of letting it crash hard

SP 800-34r1 values early warning because the minutes it buys can be enough for staff to take the system down cleanly rather than let it fall over.
