To enhance resilience and backup capabilities, which measure is most directly relevant?

• A. Stress Testing
• B. Cyber Security Control
• C. Product Obsolescence
• D. Supplier Dependence

Answer: (B)

Resilience and backup capability depend on keeping data and systems secure so that backups can be trusted and restored when disruption occurs. A cyber security control directly supports this by safeguarding backups and recovery processes: it protects data from unauthorized access or corruption, ensures backups remain intact (for example through encryption and immutable backups), and provides mechanisms to respond to and recover from incidents quickly. In short, these controls create the conditions under which backups are reliable and restoration is possible, which is the heart of resilience. Stress testing, while valuable for understanding how systems perform under heavy load, does not directly secure backups or ensure recoverability. Product obsolescence and supplier dependence relate to broader continuity risks but not specifically to the security and reliability of backup and recovery processes.
