CISSP Practice Question (Security Operations - Medium):

As the lead cybersecurity engineer for a medium-sized financial institution, you are tasked with reviewing and improving the organization's disaster recovery plan. The organization recently experienced a significant outage due to a failure in the primary data center caused by a natural disaster. The disaster recovery plan involves replicating critical systems and data to a secondary site located 200 miles away. However, during the recent outage, it was discovered that the replication lag was substantial, resulting in significant data loss. Which of the following changes would most effectively enhance the disaster recovery strategy to minimize data loss?

Options:

A. Upgrade the network bandwidth between the primary and secondary sites to support real-time data replication.

B. Implement a tape-based backup solution at the primary site and store tapes off-site for redundancy.

C. Increase the frequency of scheduled data replications from daily to twice daily.

D. Deploy a cloud-based backup solution to periodically store snapshots of critical systems.
