Henry is the Head of IT at Purple Rain Ltd and is presenting a case to the Senior Leadership Team to ask for more investment in the company's IT strategy. Henry believes the company has an issue with data resilience and is asking for more money to be invested in this. He has completed a Business Impact Assessment (BIA) to better understand what data the company holds. Jon is the Head of Procurement and has listened intently to Henry's presentation. He has decided to go back to his department and complete a thorough risk assessment, as he is aware his team holds a lot of data on suppliers and contracts. The CEO of Purple Rain, Roger Nelson, has asked Henry about next steps in order to protect the company from further risks associated with the IT strategy. Data is currently stored on servers located at Purple Rain's Headquarters. The server room is locked at all times of the day and is only accessible to staff members who have a key. The building itself is extremely secure with CCTV systems located both inside the server room and outside it. However, the server room is prone to overheating.
What is Henry's primary concern?
Data resilience refers to a company's ability to recover quickly from disruption, such as power outages or physical damage (e.g., flooding of IT equipment). Henry's concern is that the current setup lacks resilience in case of an incident. (P.102)
Wiggles Ltd works closely with a supplier called Waggles Incorporated. They are considering a merger but this is not yet public knowledge. The CEOs of each organisation have acknowledged the risk of cyber security in relation to the negotiation and have decided to restrict communications between the organisations on the matter to only a few select individuals. What form of cyber threat does this reduce?
If most employees at Wiggles and Waggles don't know the information, they are pointless targets for social engineering. You can only get information from someone who knows something. Option C is incorrect---although restricting information will reduce rumours, this isn't a cyber threat. P.170

What is the benefit of an organisation using blockchain in data management?
Blockchain ensures data integrity by preventing modifications. If changes are needed, new blocks are added instead of altering existing ones. This enhances transparency and security, as blockchain is decentralized and not vulnerable to a single point of failure. (P.189)
Oliver has recently purchased some USB drives for his team. These are small portable storage devices that can hold dat
a. He has sought assurances from the manufacturer that these are safe to use and do not contain viruses. Which of the following should he receive?
The manufacturer should provide evidence that the USB devices have been quality assured prior to purchase. Options A and B are incorrect because these relate to the items being fit for purpose for the next couple of years, rather than ensuring there isn't any virus on them now. Option D is also incorrect because it's possible for viruses to be installed on the device before it's packaged. P.177
