Re: SY0-601 topic 1 question 844

C. Both companies following the same CSF

Re: SY0-601 topic 1 question 844

C:
A cybersecurity framework(CSF) is a list of activities and objectives undertaken to mitigate risks. The use of a framework allows an organization to make an objective statement of its current cybersecurity capabilities, identify a target level of capability, and prioritize investments to achieve that target. This is valuable for giving a structure to internal risk management procedures and provides an externally verifiable statement of regulatory compliance. Frameworks are also important because they save an organization from building its security program in a vacuum, or from building the program on a foundation that fails to account for important security concepts.

By having both companies follow the same CSF, they would be better able to align the security programs.

correct answer!

Re: SY0-601 topic 1 question 844

Both companies following the same CSF (Option C): A cybersecurity framework, such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), ISO 27001, or others, provides a structured and comprehensive approach to cybersecurity. Aligning both companies with the same framework allows for a common understanding and implementation of security controls, risk management, and overall security governance
