CISSPQOWRedCISSP Question of the Week courtesy of Transcender Labs.

Your organization has asked the security team to add terrorist attacks to the organization’s business continuity plan. Which type of threat does this represent?

A. Natural environmental threat
B. Supply system threat
C. Manmade threat
D. Politically motivated threat

Reveal Answer

The correct answer is D.

A terrorist attack is a politically motivated threat. A terrorist attack is usually an attack against a particular country view from a group that opposes that the political views of that country. Often, a particular group takes credit for a terrorist attack. Politically motivated threats include strikes, riots, civil disobedience, and terrorist attacks.

Natural environmental threats include floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and extreme temperatures.

Supply system threats include power outages, communications interruptions, and water and gas interruption.

Manmade threats include unauthorized access, explosions, disgruntled employee incidents, employee errors, accidents, vandalism, fraud, and theft. While terrorist attacks are caused by man and could therefore be considered a manmade attack, they are more often classified as politically motivated attacks because they are planned and carried out by terrorist organizations. Most manmade attacks are more limited in scope when considering the perpetuator.
