Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) — Question 886

Which of the following BEST facilitates the effectiveness of cybersecurity incident response?

Answer options

• A. Utilizing a security information and event management (SIEM) tool
• B. Utilizing industry-leading network penetration testing tools
• C. Increasing communication with all incident response stakeholders
• D. Continuously updating signatures of the anti-malware solution

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Increasing communication with all incident response stakeholders is crucial for a coordinated and effective response to cybersecurity incidents. While using a SIEM tool and penetration testing tools are valuable, they do not directly improve communication, which is essential for timely and effective incident management. Similarly, updating anti-malware signatures is important for prevention but does not enhance the response process itself.
