Question 2)
You are the system security officer for a drinking water utility servicing a small city of about 30,000 residents in Vermont. You are assessing your cybersecurity posture using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. You have assessed your current Framework Profile as Tier 1, “Partial”. You have developed a Target Profile representing what you consider Tier 2, “Risk Informed” capability. Moreover, you have identified Framework Core Actions necessary to attain Tier 2 status that can be accomplished within your current budget authorization. You have determined that there is a very low, but non-zero probability that a cyber attack could shut down your water supply to the city for as much as a week, maybe longer. What is the best recommended course of action to make to management?
- Remain at Tier 1 because the probability of cyber attack is very low.
- Remain at Tier 1 because the consequences of cyber attack aren’t catastrophic.
- Advance to Tier 2 because the cost of implementation is within your budget.
