Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
A company installs a new security product but assigns no owner, sets no policy, and does not review its performance. Which conclusion best follows from the course material?
Answer
The installation alone does not establish effective cybersecurity governance
Explanation
### Why this is right
Governance includes technology integration, but it also requires policies, processes, leadership, accountability, and continuous monitoring. The scenario describes a product without those organizational supports.
### The concept
A security product may help detect or prevent particular threats. Governance determines how such technology fits the organization's objectives, who is responsible for it, and how its effectiveness is reviewed. A product is therefore one component, not a complete governance framework.
### The other options
- **B. The company has completed continuous improvement**: No review or adjustment is described.
- **C. The product replaces leadership accountability**: Technology cannot assign organizational responsibility.
- **D. The company no longer needs risk management**: Risk management remains a named governance element.
### Remember
A tool without policy, ownership, and review is not a governance framework.
