Question 340
Several teams are independently changing systems during a broad production compromise. What should the decision-maker choose?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An incident commander coordinates priorities, decisions, communications, and operational control. By contrast, Threat-led exercise is relevant when defenders have never practiced a realistic attack path against a crown-jewel service, not as a substitute for Major-incident commander in this case.
Incorrect Answers
Periodic exercise and version review keep response instructions operationally valid; such an effect addresses a situation where teams rely on incident steps that reference retired systems and staff rather than the situation where several teams are independently changing systems during a broad production compromise.
Threat-led exercises validate coordinated detection, prevention, and response against plausible adversary behavior; that is relevant if defenders have never practiced a realistic attack path against a crown-jewel service, but it does not directly resolve the need arising when several teams are independently changing systems during a broad production compromise.
Resilience metrics connect availability, achieved recovery time, and disruption outcomes to agreed tolerances; the condition under which it applies is that management wants to measure actual ability to sustain and restore its critical payment service, unlike the condition in the question, where several teams are independently changing systems during a broad production compromise.
