Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 9

During the recovery process, RTO and RPO should be the main parameters of your disaster recovery plan. What does RPO refer to?

Answer options

• A. The encryption feature, acting as add-on security to the data
• B. The hot plugging technique used to replace computer components
• C. The duration required to restore the data
• D. The interval after which the data quality is lost

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as RPO (Recovery Point Objective) indicates the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time, which defines how old the data should be at the time of recovery. Option A refers to a security feature, option B addresses hardware replacement methods, and option C describes the time to restore data, which is related to RTO (Recovery Time Objective), not RPO.
