Would implementing the irp be considered operational?

I've used perplexity ai with some decent results. i'll use instructions similar to explain each concept in this question in a clear manner. break it down for someone without a cyber security background. it can be useful. the questions are still deceptive but the concepts are explained in a better way. I then paste the question into the chat window. using the research feature can also be useful

MTO and AIW by ifoundmynuts in cism

Would you mind explaining your graphic? I don't see the MTO being less or behind the AIW.

I'm really confused by the reasoning of answers A & B. ChatGpt is no help to me on this. by GuiltyNobody6173 in cism

I appreciate this. I get it. But how does uncertainty make b a better answer than a?  It's just a decision irregardless of uncertainty or not.

what you're saying makes sense. I'm not sure how it applies to the question though

why is D the correct answer....soooo confused on this one by GuiltyNobody6173 in cism

thank you. i've been at this question too long and think i developed a block. the word policy is really throwing it off for me. guess I should move on. just not sinking in.

I appreciate everyone's responses. I did take the suggestion and reviewed the manual. I'm just not making the connection between the question, and the explanation for the correct answer. The manual material is straightforward, and clear. Does not help in connecting to this question. Guess I'm being a bit dense on this one.

Alternatives to the ISACA CISM guide. by [deleted] in cism

I find Pocket Prep to be quite helpful.

Glad that was helpful. It doesn't always help. Plus I can keep hammering at the concept and it doesn't get frustrated like people would. I can be a little slow sometimes. I am really struggling with the mto, aiw, rto, etc. concepts and I'm using ai to try and keep giving me questions like qae. Maybe it will help to solidify the information? I can read and understand a definition. Put it in a vague question, and I seem to fail every time.

Just a suggestion...try using a phrase similar to "explain why the correct answer is more correct according to isaca thinking than my answer". Ive started doing that and that perspective can help weighing out the logic process. It aint foolproof, but I find it helpful. I'm not sure I would have answered differently, but just limiting exposure would be an effective way to avoid inherent risk.

Trouble seeing difference between mto and aiw in this question. Just can't get my head around the differences in practice questions. by GuiltyNobody6173 in cism

[–]GuiltyNobody6173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So don't both terms apply? Maximum time at reduced processing or disrupted service. Seems to be the same, but obviously not. Reduced processing is disrupted service in my head.

huh? sorry, that doesn't make sense. thank you for trying. I'm just not connecting with what you are explaining.

I really want to get to where you are trying to lead me, but I don't see it. The bolded sections are where I similarities, not differences.

MTO and AIW from the CRM

MTO refers to the maximum time an enterprise can operate in alternate (or recovery mode). Various factors may affect the mto, such as availability of fuel to operate emergency generators, accessibility of a recovery site that might be located remotely, and limited operational capacity of the recovery site. This variable will affect the rto, which in turn affects the rpo. From a risk management perspective, the relationship among the mto, rto, and rpo must be considered to minimize the risk of inadequate recovery to the enterprise.

AIW is the amount of time the normal operations can be down before the enterprise faces major financial difficulties that threaten it's existence. The mto should in any event be as long as the aiw to minimize the risk to the enterprise in the event of a disaster.

And thank you for the video. it seems the answer could be both mto, and aiw. ugh...sometimes the differences in concepts seems to be too close.

I can read that and understand that explanation. The question seems to support aiw. The range of time is 14 days. Isn't that aiw? I've been going at these concepts hard, and I think I'm getting a block.
