Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) — Question 615

Which of the following is MOST likely to introduce risk for financial institutions that use blockchain?

Answer options

• A. Disruption to business processes
• B. Cost of implementation
• C. Implementation of unproven applications
• D. Increase in attack surface area

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the implementation of unproven applications can lead to unforeseen vulnerabilities and operational failures. Options A and D, while relevant, pertain to broader issues that may not specifically stem from blockchain technology itself. Option B, while a concern, does not directly introduce risk like using untested applications does.
