Which of the following represents the greatest risk? Group of answer choices
The director of IT (a key employee) resigned
An IT hardware failure occurred
The president of the company was fired for embezzlement
The company’s database is corrupted with no backup facilities
Sol:
The correct option is , The company’s database is corrupted with no backup facilities .
This option represents the greatest risk . why because a company's very very important part is its database. A database having the entire datas and information of the company , so the corruption of the database will result a major loss of important datas. since the DBMS has no backup facilities , its very difficult to get back the loss datas.
The other options holds wrong why because,
The director of IT (a key employee) resigned :
The resignation of the director does not create a major risk , the role can be assigned to other well qualified person.
since the importance is less we can avoid this option from the high risk factor.
An IT hardware failure occurred :
The failed hardware can be changed. There are available security peoples to check the condition of the systems and correct it.
The president of the company was fired for embezzlement :
This belongs to one important security issue , a president should not be a part of embezzlement. However still the important data and information regarding the company available . The new president and team can resolve the problems created by the ex president. so this option can be included into less risk factor.
