[All L6M7 Questions]

Alicia is aware of the dangers of IT hacking and has therefore created a risk assessment to assess how susceptible her business is to this threat. In her risk assessment, she has considered her employees and suppliers. Is this the correct thing to do?

AYes - employees are most likely to be targeted by hackers

BYes - a risk assessment will protect Alicia's company from cyber threats

CNo - Alicia should also consider risks throughout the supply chain

DNo - the risk assessment should be completed by a third party

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

While it is important to consider employees and suppliers, cybersecurity risks can exist at various points in the supply chain. Alicia needs to assess potential threats at every stage. A risk assessment alone does not protect against threats (Option B is incorrect), and there is no indication that a third party must complete the assessment (Option D). (P.154)
