CISM study material · question 954 of 1000

Why does NIST caution against relying on email for contingency notification?

  1. Email lacks the formality that a plan activation of this kind properly requires
  2. Mail systems are commonly among the very first services to fail in an outage
  3. The message may be intercepted in transit by an unauthorised third party
  4. There is no way to guarantee the message was received or read
Show the answer

Answer: D. There is no way to guarantee the message was received or read

SP 800-34r1 cautions that automated notification such as email should not be the sole notification method because there is no way to ensure receipt.
