Start Information Technology and Security PracticeA large retail company is implementing a new cloud-based inventory management system. The system will store sensitive customer data and integrate with existing on-premises ERP. The risk manager is asked to identify the most critical risk to address in the shared responsibility model. Which risk is MOST likely to be overlooked?
Explanation: In the shared responsibility model, the customer is responsible for data classification and access controls. Misconfiguration of access controls is a common overlooked risk that can lead to data breaches.
An energy company is integrating its IT network with OT systems for real-time monitoring. The risk manager is assessing the expanded attack surface. Which risk should be given the HIGHEST priority due to its potential for physical consequences?
Explanation: In OT environments, the highest priority risk involves safety implications and physical consequences, such as an attacker manipulating operational parameters to cause equipment damage or safety incidents.
A risk manager is designing an IT risk management programme. Which document should be created FIRST to guide the overall approach to risk management?
Explanation: A risk management policy establishes the principles, objectives, and responsibilities for risk management, providing a foundation for all other risk management activities.
A financial institution is adopting AI for credit scoring. The model is currently a black box and requires explainability for regulatory compliance. Which risk is MOST critical to address?
Explanation: Regulated decisions require explainability. If the AI model cannot provide explanations, the institution risks regulatory non-compliance and potential legal challenges.
During a solution architecture review, the Architecture Review Board (ARB) identifies that a new application communicates with a legacy system using plain text over a public network. Which risk treatment option is MOST appropriate?
Explanation: The risk of data exposure can be mitigated by implementing encryption, such as TLS, to protect data in transit.
