CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 415

A security analyst is deploying a new application in the environment. The application needs to be integrated with several existing applications that contain SPI.
Prior to the deployment, the analyst should conduct:

Answer options

• A. a tabletop exercise.
• B. a business impact analysis.
• C. a PCI assessment.
• D. an application stress test

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a business impact analysis helps determine how the new application will affect existing systems and identifies potential risks. Options A, C, and D are not as relevant; a tabletop exercise focuses on response preparedness, a PCI assessment is specific to payment card data security, and an application stress test evaluates performance under load rather than integration risks.
