Explanation / Answer

1)Answer:

*Threat attack identification and prioritization

* Business unit analysis

* Attack success scenario development

* Potential damage assessment

* Subordinate plan classification

2)Answer:

Containment is the process of defining what schemes have been attacked and eliminating their capability to attack non-compromised organizations.

It is a strategy to stop the incident and attempt to recover control. Containment consists of isolating the affected channels, process, services, or computers, and stopping the losses

3)Answer:

In general, there are three exclusive options: hot sites, warm sites, and cold sites; and three shared functions: time-share, service bureaus, and mutual agreements.Hot Sites are a fully configured computer facility, with all services, communications links, and physical plant operations including heating and air conditioning. Hot sites duplicate computing resources, peripherals, phone systems, applications, and workstations. A hot site is the pinnacle of contingency planning, a duplicate facility that needs only the latest data backups and personnel to become a fully operational twin of the original. A warm site provides many of the same services and options of the hot site. However, it typically does not include the actual applications the company needs, or the applications may not yet be installed and configured.A cold site provides only rudimentary services and facilities. No computer hardware or peripherals are provided. All communications services must be installed after the site is occupied. Basically a cold site is an empty room with heating, air conditioning, and electricity. Everything else is an option. The main advantage of cold sites over hot and warm sites is the cost. A time-share is a hot, warm, or cold site that is leased in conjunction with a business partner or sister organization. The time-share allows the organization to maintain a disaster recovery and business continuity option, but at a reduced overall cost. The primary disadvantage is the possibility that more than one organization involved in the time-share may need the facility simultaneously. A service bureau is an agency that provides a service for a fee. In the case of disaster recovery and continuity planning, the service is the agreement to provide physical facilities in the event of a disaster. These types of agencies also frequently provide offsite data storage for a fee.A mutual agreement is a contract between two or more organizations that specifies how each will assist the other in the event of a disaster. It stipulates that each organization is obligated to provide the necessary facilities, resources, and services until the receiving organization is able to recover from the disaster
