Question
Which of the following is a CHARACTERISTIC of a decision support system (DSS) in regards to Threats and Risks Analysis?
Options
- ADSS is aimed at solving highly structured problems.
- BDSS emphasizes flexibility in the decision making approach of users.
- CDSS supports only structured decision-making tasks.
- DDSS combines the use of models with non-traditional data access and retrieval functions.
Explanation
A Decision Support System (DSS) is specifically designed for semi-structured and unstructured problems - exactly the kind found in threats and risks analysis where data is incomplete and judgment is required. Its hallmark is flexibility: it empowers users to explore scenarios, model variables, and adapt their analytical approach. DSS does not target highly structured or fully structured decisions (those belong to Management Information Systems or transaction processing systems), and while DSS uses models with various data retrieval, 'non-traditional' is not its defining characteristic.
