Computer Security Applicationsintermediate
Select ALL items that the lesson identifies as possible key assets or asset categories.
Answer
Customer data, Hardware and networks, Business systems such as a customer relationship management system
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Customer data** is information an organization may need to protect.
- **Hardware and networks** are technology assets that support business operations and may be attacked or disrupted.
- **Business systems such as a customer relationship management system** can store or process important information and support business objectives.
### The concept
Asset identification asks what needs protection before risk can be assessed. The lesson gives examples across several levels: information such as customer and financial data, systems such as customer relationship management or email, and components such as servers. Incident reports can inform assessment, but they are not presented as the only kind of asset.
### The other options
- **Only completed security incident reports**: reports can provide evidence about past events, but they are not a complete inventory of the organization’s assets.
### Terms
- **Customer relationship management system**: software used to organize and manage information about customers and interactions with them.
### Remember
Inventory information, systems, hardware, networks, and other things of business value.
