Assessing Corporate Cybersecurityintermediate
Select ALL items identified as elements of cybersecurity governance in the course material.
Answer
Risk management, Leadership and accountability, Education and training, Reporting and communication
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Risk management** is a named governance element because organizations need to identify and address cybersecurity risks.
- **Leadership and accountability** establish who directs security and who is responsible for assigned work.
- **Education and training** help employees understand security risks and practices.
- **Reporting and communication** support the sharing of security information and decisions.
### The concept
Governance brings organizational responsibilities and processes together. It can lower risk and improve preparedness, but it cannot promise that incidents will never happen.
### The other options
- **D. Guaranteeing that no incident will ever occur**: Governance aims to manage risk, not guarantee an impossible outcome.
### Terms
- **Cybersecurity governance**: Organizational direction and control of cybersecurity activities.
- **Risk management**: The process of identifying and addressing risks.
### Remember
Governance establishes ongoing practices, not guarantees of perfect security.
