Actual exam question for Eccouncil's 712-50 exam

Question #: 91
Topic #: 6

SCENARIO: A CISO has several two-factor authentication systems under review and selects the one that is most sufficient and least costly. The implementation project planning is completed and the teams are ready to implement the solution. The CISO then discovers that the product it is not as scalable as originally thought and will not fit the organization's needs.

What is the MOST logical course of action the CISO should take?

AReview the original solution set to determine if another system would fit the organization's risk appetite and budget
regulatory compliance requirements

BContinue with the implementation and submit change requests to the vendor in order to ensure required functionality will be provided when needed

CContinue with the project until the scalability issue is validated by others, such as an auditor or third party assessor

DCancel the project if the business need was based on internal requirements versus regulatory compliance requirements

Option E: Throw a dart at the options and see what happens. After all, who needs scalability when you can have the thrill of uncertainty? Just remember, when in doubt, blame the vendor. They're always happy to take the heat, right?

Option C is the safest bet. Why not let someone else validate the scalability issue? That way, the CISO can avoid making a hasty decision and potentially wasting time and resources. Just don't forget to factor in the cost of the auditor or third-party assessor. 'Cause you know what they say, 'Penny wise, pound foolish.'

Option B is the way to go! Submitting change requests to the vendor is a great way to make the solution work. I'm sure they'll be happy to accommodate the organization's needs. What could go wrong, right? (Spoiler alert: a lot.)

But what if the implementation is already underway? Shouldn't they continue with the project and make necessary changes?

I'd go with Option D. If the business need was just an internal requirement, then it's better to cancel the project than waste resources on a solution that won't scale. Gotta know when to cut your losses, you know?

Option A seems like the most prudent choice. The CISO should re-evaluate the original solutions to find one that aligns with the organization's requirements. Rushing into an implementation that doesn't fit the needs would be a costly mistake.
