CISMP-V9 Exam Dumps : BCS Foundation Certificate in Information Security Management Principles V9.0

 A hot site is a type of disaster recovery facility that is fully equipped and ready to take over operation at a moment’s notice. It includes HVAC, power, communications infrastructure, computing hardware, and a real-time duplication of the organization’s existing “live” data. This enables an organization to resume operations quickly after a disaster with minimal downtime. Hot sites are typically maintained at a state of readiness and can become operational almost immediately after an incident occurs. This contrasts with cold sites, which provide space and infrastructure but require installation and configuration of equipment, and warm sites, which are partially equipped with some operational resources.

The ISO/IEC 27000 series, particularly ISO/IEC 27001, provides a framework for information security management systems (ISMS) that helps organizations secure their information assets. This series covers various aspects of information security, including the protection of organizational records and data protection & privacy, which are legal compliance requirements in many jurisdictions. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are also considered within the scope of information security as they pertain to the protection of proprietary information and assets. Forensic recovery of data and data deduplication are technical and operational considerations but are not directly addressed as compliance legal requirements within the ISO/IEC 27000 series.

References: The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard outlines the requirements for an ISMS, including the need to address legal, physical, and technical controls to protect information assets12. The Advisera guide on ISO 27001 further explains the standard’s requirements for documented information, which would include organizational records and policies related to data protection and privacy3.

 Botnets are typically used by attackers for a variety of malicious activities, most commonly for:

• Generating and distributing spam messages: Botnets can send out large volumes of spam emails to promote products or services, or to distribute malware.
• Conducting DDoS attacks: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are often carried out using botnets to overwhelm a target’s servers with traffic.
• Scanning for system & application vulnerabilities: Botnets can be used to scan a large number of systems for vulnerabilities that can be exploited in further attacks.

However, vishing attacks, which involve voice phishing through phone calls, are not commonly associated with the use of botnets. Vishing typically involves direct voice communication to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information and does not leverage the distributed computing power of botnets, which is central to their usual applications such as spam distribution, DDoS attacks, and vulnerability scanning123.

References: The answer is informed by the common uses of botnets as outlined in various cybersecurity resources, including the BCS Information Security Management Principles, which emphasize the importance of understanding botnet capabilities in the context of information security management12
