All CISM Test Inside Isaca Questions

The best indicator that an information security governance framework has been successfully implemented is A. The framework aligns internal and external resources. This is because the framework should ensure that the information security strategy, policies, and objectives are aligned with the business goals, stakeholder expectations, and regulatory requirements. The framework should also enable the effective allocation and coordination of internal and external resources, such as people, processes, technology, and finances, to support the information security program and its activities.

The first step when performing triage of a malware incident is to contain the affected system, which means isolating it from the network and preventing any further communication or data transfer with the attacker or other compromised systems. Containing the affected system helps to limit the scope and impact of the incident, preserve the evidence, and prevent the spread of the malware to other systems.

Human error remains the leading cause of cybersecurity breaches, including mishandling data, misconfigurations, and falling for phishing attacks.

“Human error continues to be one of the most common causes of data breaches and security incidents.”

The answer to the question is B. Spread a site across multiple ISPs. This is because spreading a site across multiple Internet service providers (ISPs) can help to reduce the impact of a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack by increasing the bandwidth and redundancy of the site, and making it harder for the attacker to target and overwhelm a single point of failure. Spreading a site across multiple ISPs can also help to distribute the traffic load and balance the performance of the site, and to mitigate the effects of regional or network-specific outages or disruptions. Spreading a site across multiple ISPs can be done by using various techniques, such as anycast routing, content delivery networks (CDNs), or cloud-based services12.
