Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 1002

Which of the following BEST enables an information security manager to identify changes in the threat landscape due to emerging technologies?

Answer options

• A. Input from external experts
• B. Annual security assessments
• C. Periodic risk assessments
• D. Benchmarking against industry peers

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because insights from external experts can provide up-to-date information on emerging threats that may not be captured through internal assessments. Options B, C, and D, while useful for overall security management, do not specifically focus on the rapid changes in the threat landscape driven by new technologies.
