Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 589

Which of the following is MOST important for an IS auditor to confirm when conducting a review of an active-active application cluster configuration?

Answer options

• A. Results from recent user satisfaction surveys meet operational targets.
• B. The cluster configuration includes adequate network bandwidth.
• C. The cluster switches between active-active and active-passive configurations.
• D. The IT operations team maintains a version history of the cluster software.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Confirming that the cluster configuration includes adequate network bandwidth is crucial because insufficient bandwidth can lead to performance issues. While user satisfaction surveys, version history, and configuration switching are important, they are secondary to ensuring the cluster can handle the necessary network load for optimal operation.
