What is the primary purpose of resilience-building measures such as redundancy and incident response?

• A. To project strength through intimidation
• B. To reduce budget by cutting resilience programs
• C. To ensure sustained operations in the face of disruptions
• D. To eliminate all cyber threats completely

Answer: (C)

Redundancy and incident response are about keeping operations going when disruptions occur. Redundancy means duplicating critical components, systems, or sites so a failure in one part doesn’t stop the mission. Incident response covers how you detect, contain, recover from, and learn from disruptions to minimize downtime and restore services quickly. The main purpose is to ensure sustained operations in the face of disruptions, not to intimidate others, not to cut resilience funding, and not to assume you can eliminate every threat.
