CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 175

An organization's Chief Information Security Officer has asked department leaders to coordinate on communication plans that can be enacted in response to different cybersecurity incident triggers.

Which of the following is a benefit of having these communication plans?

Answer options

• A. They can help to prevent the inadvertent release of damaging information outside the organization
• B. They can help to limit the spread of worms by coordinating with help desk personnel earlier in the recovery phase.
• C. They can quickly inform the public relations team to begin coordinating with the media as soon as a breach is detected
• D. They can help to keep the organization’s senior leadership informed about the status of patching during the recovery phase

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because having communication plans helps ensure that sensitive information is not leaked during an incident. The other options focus on different aspects of incident management, such as technical recovery or media communication, but they do not address the specific benefit of protecting sensitive information.
