Explanation

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) would most likely mitigate the impact of an extended power outage on a company's environment. A UPS provides backup power and ensures that systems continue to run during short-term power outages, giving enough time to perform an orderly shutdown or switch to a longer-term power solution like a generator. Hot site: A fully operational offsite data center that can be used if the primary site becomes unavailable. It's more suitable for disaster recovery rather than mitigating short-term power UPS: Provides immediate backup power, protecting against data loss and hardware damage during power interruptions. Snapshots: Used for data backup and recovery, not for power outage mitigation. SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response): A platform for automating security operations, not related to power outage mitigation.
