Cloud Adoption & Vendor Challenges
Relying heavily on one CSP risks this strategic limitation.
What is vendor lock-in?
This governance practice curbs unauthorized cloud usage by employees.
What is Cloud Governance?
This DR method runs a scaled-down version of production, quickly scaled up in disaster.
What is Warm Standby?
This site has partial redundancy and daily/weekly data sync.
What is a Warm Site?
This type of review involves DR plan owners checking for missing elements.
What is Plan Review?
The first team members to respond during a cloud incident.
Who are Incident Handlers?
The AWS framework guiding adoption strategy and value is called this.
What is the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF)?
Cloud Governance combats this problem where employees use unapproved cloud apps.
What is Shadow IT?
Warm Standby balances cost and recovery by keeping this always running.
What is a smaller replica environment?
Warm sites typically require this before full recovery.
What is scaling up hardware/resources?
Testing the DR plan via team discussion, not execution, is this.
What is Tabletop Exercise?
Incident Handlers are also called this in the IR lifecycle.
Who are First Responders?
Governance requires balancing IT adoption with the interests of these.
Who are corporate stakeholders?
Implementing governance reduces risks from this type of fragmented control.
What is unwarranted usage and breaches?
Warm Standby can meet these aggressive time objectives.
What are RTO and RPO within minutes?
Failover to warm sites generally occurs in this timeframe.
What is hours to days?
When DR plan owners and team validate consistency, it’s this activity.
What is DR Plan Validation (Review Testing)?
These responders defend against large-scale DDoS events.
Who are Incident Handlers / SOC first line defenders?
Vendor lock-in most directly challenges this cloud governance principle.
What is portability/interoperability?
Establishing policies, monitoring, and education are ways to prevent this.
What is Shadow IT?
Warm Standby is best for this type of business function.
What are core business-critical functions?
Warm sites keep this type of equipment ready.
What is partially redundant equipment?
Identifying gaps in DR plans through formal evaluation is this.
What is Gap Analysis in DR Testing?
First Responders act in this phase of incident handling.
What is Detection and Initial Response?
Shadow IT, lock-in, and poor adoption planning are examples of these.
What are governance and adoption risks?
Shadow IT directly undermines this principle of governance.
What is alignment between business vision and IT?
Warm Standby is less expensive than this but faster than Pilot Light.
What is Hot Site (full replication)?
Warm sites are slower than hot sites but faster than this.
What is Cold Sites?
DR plan testing ensures this primary business objective.
What is Business Continuity?
True or False: Incident Handlers only work after containment.
What is False (they respond immediately at detection)?
