Question1: Scenario 8:FindaxLabs is a financial institution that offers money transfers services globally The company Is known for quick money transfers at a low cost. To transfer money, users register with their email addresses and submit a photo of their ID card for identity verification. They also need to provide the recipient s bank account details alongside their own bank account details. Users can track the transfer through their accounts, either from the website or mobile app. As the company operates in a highly sensitive industry, it recognizes the importance of ensuring cybersecurity. As such, FindaxLabs has addressed its cybersecurity concerns through its business continuity plan.
Nevertheless, a few months ago, FindaxLabs detected suspicious activity on its network and realized that it was being attacked The attackers tried to gain access to customer information. Including emails,bank account numbers, and records of financial transactions. Upon receiving the alert, the incident response team responded swiftly Following the ICT readiness for business continuity (IRBC) policy and procedures, they immediately took down the communication channels to the server and went offline. Subsequently, they conducted vulnerability testing and network scanning, but did not identify any other backdoors. After dodging this attack, the company completely changed its approach toward cyber threats. Consequently, cybersecurity became one of their highest priorities.
FindaxLabs established a more comprehensive cybersecurity incident management plan based on its cybersecurity Incident management policy 10 effectively handle and mitigate future incidents and vulnerabilities. The cybersecurity incident management plan outlined a structured approach based on industry best practices and included various phases of the incident response process The company also created a post-incident report to evaluate the effectiveness of their response capabilities and identify areas for improvement It documented all relevant information related to the incident, such as category, priority, status, and actions taken to resolve it Based on this documentation, it defined the IRBC activities that helped them respond to and recover from disruptions, creating an IRBC timeline. The timeline consisted of three main stages: incident detection, response, and recovery. The company evaluated whether IRBC objectives were met for each phase. Through this evaluation, they determined that improved collaboration between business managers and ICT staff, as well as the implementation of preventive measures such as antivirus and firewalls, would have provided layered protection and better integration of cybersecurity into the business continuity strategy.
Based on the scenario above, answer the following question:
Based on scenario 8, has FindaxLabs completed the "Do" phase of the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle In IRBC?

Question33: Scenario 5:Pilotron is a large manufacturer known for its electric vehicles that use renewable energy. One of Its objectives Is 10 make the world a cleaner place by reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. In addition to electric vehicles, Pilotron also offers solar roof and advanced battery technology, all manufactured at its factory in Bastogne. Belgium. As one of the most Innovative manufacturers in Europe, Pilotron invests heavily in research and development to create unique components, such asmotors, sensors, and batteries. In addillon, it places a strong emphasis on delivering high-quality products, and requires all employees to undergo an intensive onboarding program that includes hands-on training.
Pilotron did not prioritize the establishment of a cybersecurity program to protect its information. This became evident when a frustrated employee took advantage of the company's lack of cybersecurity measures. The employee was aware that Pilotron's existing security measures could easily be evaded The company became aware of the incident after five weeks, when a sudden surge in network data transfer raised suspicions upon investigation. Pilotron discovered that the employee had multiple requests for access to software development resources that were unrelated to their daily tasks By using a false user name and avoiding the implemented cybersecurity controls, the employee directly modified the code of one of Pilotron's products. This unauthorized code change enabled the employee to transfer highly sensitive data to external parties Knowing that insider threats pose a significant risk and the existing security controls were ineffective. Pilotron decided to shift its cybersecurity focus toward proactive detection and prevention strategies. It implemented a security software that detects unusual access patterns, large data upload, and credential abuse Additionally, Pilotron recognized the need to help improve the security of Its systems by Isolating devices (PCs. servers) on the opposite sides of a firewall.
The company also implemented an identity management solution to ensure the verification of Individuals requesting access. It decided to implement a mechanism that ensured only authorized individuals can access sensitive systems and data. In addition to the traditional username and password, employees were now required to provide a unique personal identifier, such as a fingerprint, as well as a one-time verification code generated through a mobile app Moreover, in order to enhance security measures and gain the benefits of cloud computing, Pilotron decided to leverage cloud based services. A kiv factor in Pilotroo's decision was the capability to construct and oversee its personalized Infrastructure Instead of depending on pre-set platforms or software applications, the company could craft its virtualized environments. The significant level of customization is of utmost importance to Pilotron since it enables adjusting its infrastructure to align with the specific requirements of its projects and clients.
