GIAC Security Essentials Certification (GSEC) — Question 47

Which of the following quantifies the effects of a potential disaster over a period of time?

Answer options

• A. Risk Assessment
• B. Business Impact Analysis
• C. Disaster Recovery Planning
• D. Lessons Learned

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, Business Impact Analysis, focuses on evaluating the potential effects of disruptions on business operations over time. Risk Assessment identifies potential risks but does not quantify their impact, Disaster Recovery Planning outlines recovery strategies without measuring effects, and Lessons Learned refers to insights gained from past incidents rather than quantifying disaster effects.
