CISM Certified Information Security Manager – Question1340

An organization with multiple data centers has designated one of its own facilities as the recovery site. The MOST important concern is the:

A.
communication line capacity between data centers.
B. current processing capacity loads at data centers.
C. differences in logical security at each center.
D. synchronization of system software release versions.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation:
If data centers are operating at or near capacity, it may prove difficult to recover critical operations at an alternate data center. Although line capacity is important from a mirroring perspective, this is secondary to having the necessary capacity to restore critical systems. By comparison, differences in logical and physical security and synchronization of system software releases are much easier issues to overcome and are, therefore, of less concern.
