CAS-003 Question #54: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: Spending on SCADA security controls should stay steady; application control spending should. Spending on the security controls should stay steady because the attacks are still ongoing albeit reduced in occurrence Due to the incidence of BIOS-based attacks growing exponentially as the application attacks being decreased or staying flat spending should increase in this fie
Question
The latest independent research shows that cyber attacks involving SCADA systems grew an average of 15% per year in each of the last four years, but that this year's growth has slowed to around 7%. Over the same time period, the number of attacks against applications has decreased or stayed flat each year. At the start of the measure period, the incidence of PC boot loader or BIOS based attacks was negligible. Starting two years ago, the growth in the number of PC boot loader attacks has grown exponentially. Analysis of these trends would seem to suggest which of the following strategies should be employed?
Options
- ASpending on SCADA protections should stay steady; application control spending should
- BSpending on SCADA security controls should stay steady; application control spending should
- CSpending all controls should increase by 15% to start; spending on application controls should be
- DSpending on SCADA security controls should increase by 15%; application control spending
Explanation
Spending on the security controls should stay steady because the attacks are still ongoing albeit reduced in occurrence Due to the incidence of BIOS-based attacks growing exponentially as the application attacks being decreased or staying flat spending should increase in this field.
