• Question 478:

  Which of the following is a process that detects a problem, determines its cause, minimizes the damages, resolves the problem, and documents each step of response for future reference?

  A. Incident response
  B. Incident handling
  C. Incident management
  D. Incident planning
  A. Incident response

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Incident response is a process that detects a problem, determines its cause, minimizes the damages, resolves the problem, and documents each step of response for future reference. One of the primary goals of incident response is to "freeze the scene". There is a close relationship between incident response, incident handling, and incident management. The primary goal of incident handling is to contain and repair any damage caused by an event and to prevent any further damage. Incident management manages the overall process of an incident by declaring the incident and preparing documentation and post-mortem reviews after the incident has occurred. Answer option B is incorrect. The primary goal of incident handling is to contain and repair any damage caused by an event and to prevent any further damage. Answer option C is incorrect. It manages the overall process of an incident by declaring the incident and preparing documentation and post-mortem reviews after the incident has occurred. Answer option D is incorrect. This is an invalid option.

• Question 479:

  Which of the following strategies is used to minimize the effects of a disruptive event on a company, and is created to prevent interruptions to normal business activity?

  A. Disaster Recovery Plan
  B. Business Continuity Plan
  C. Contingency Plan
  D. Continuity of Operations Plan
  B. Business Continuity Plan

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  BCP is a strategy to minimize the consequence of the instability and to allow for the continuation of business processes. The goal of BCP is to minimize the effects of a disruptive event on a company, and is formed to avoid interruptions to normal business activity. Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is the creation and validation of a practiced logistical plan for how an organization will recover and restore partially or completely interrupted critical (urgent) functions within a predetermined time after a disaster or extended disruption. The logistical plan is called a business continuity plan. Answer option C is incorrect. A contingency plan is a plan devised for a specific situation when things could go wrong. Contingency plans are often devised by governments or businesses who want to be prepared for anything that could happen. Contingency plans include specific strategies and actions to deal with specific variances to assumptions resulting in a particular problem, emergency, or state of affairs. They also include a monitoring process and "triggers" for initiating planned actions. They are required to help governments, businesses, or individuals to recover from serious incidents in the minimum time with minimum cost and disruption. Answer option A is incorrect. Disaster recovery planning is a subset of a larger process known as business continuity planning and should include planning for resumption of applications, data, hardware, communications (such as networking), and other IT infrastructure. A business continuity plan (BCP) includes planning for non-IT related aspects such as key personnel, facilities, crisis communication, and reputation protection, and should refer to the disaster recovery plan (DRP) for IT-related infrastructure recovery/continuity. Answer option D is incorrect. The Continuity Of Operation Plan (COOP) refers to the preparations and institutions maintained by the United States government, providing survival of federal government operations in the case of catastrophic events. It provides procedures and capabilities to sustain an organization's essential. COOP is the procedure documented to ensure persistent critical operations throughout any period where normal operations are unattainable.

• Question 480:

  Which of the following is a network layer protocol used to obtain an IP address for a given hardware (MAC) address?

  A. IP
  B. PIM
  C. RARP
  D. ARP
  C. RARP

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) is a Network layer protocol used to obtain an IP address for a given hardware (MAC) address. RARP is sort of the reverse of an ARP. Common protocols that use RARP are BOOTP and DHCP.

  Answer option D is incorrect. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a network maintenance protocol of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It is responsible for the resolution of IP addresses to media access control (MAC) addresses of a network

  interface card (NIC). The ARP cache is used to maintain a correlation between a MAC address and its corresponding IP address. ARP provides the protocol rules for making this correlation and providing address conversion in both directions.

  ARP is limited to physical network systems that support broadcast packets.

  Answer option B is incorrect. Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is a family of multicast routing protocols for Internet Protocol (IP) networks that provide one-to-many and many-to-many distribution of data over a LAN, WAN, or the Internet.

  It is termed protocol-independent because PIM does not include its own topology discovery mechanism, but instead uses routing information supplied by other traditional routing protocols, such as Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Answer

  option A is incorrect. The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched inter-network using the Internet Protocol Suite, also referred to as TCP/IP. IP is the primary protocol in the Internet Layer of

  the Internet Protocol Suite and has the task of delivering distinguished protocol datagrams (packets) from the source host to the destination host solely based on their addresses. For this purpose, the Internet Protocol defines addressing

  methods and structures for datagram encapsulation. The first major version of addressing structure, now referred to as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), is still the dominant protocol of the Internet, although the successor, Internet Protocol

  Version 6 (IPv6), is being deployed actively worldwide.
