Explanation:
Fidelity insurance covers the loss arising from dishonest or fraudulent acts by employees. Business
interruption insurance covers the loss of profit due to the disruption in the operations of an organization.
Errors and omissions insurance provides legal liability protection in the event that the professional
practitioner commits an act that results in financial loss to a client. Extra expense insurance is designed to
cover the extra costs of continuing operations following a disaster/disruption within an organization.

Explanation:
Hot sites can be made ready for operation normally within hours. However, the use of hot sites is expensive, should not be considered as a long-term solution, and requires that equipment and systems software be compatible with the primary installation being backed up.

Explanation:
Certified and accredited systems are systems that have had their security compliance technically evaluated
for running on a specific production server. Choice B is incorrect because not all data of certified systems
are encrypted. Choice C is incorrect because certified systems are evaluated to run in a specific
environment. A waterfall model is a software development methodology and not a reason for performing a
certification and accrediting process.

Explanation:
Diverse routing routes traffic through split-cable facilities or duplicate-cable facilities. This can be accomplished with different and/or duplicate cable sheaths, if different cable sheaths are used, the cable may be in the same conduit and, therefore, subject to the same interruptions as the cable it is backing up.
The communication service subscriber can duplicate the facilities by having alternate routes, although the entrance to and from the customer premises may be in the same conduit. The subscriber can obtain diverse routing and alternate routing from the local carrier, including dual-entrance facilities. This type of access is time consuming and costly. Alternative routing is a method of routing information via an alternate medium, such as copper cable or fiber optics. This involves use of different networks, circuits or end points should the normal network be unavailable. Long-haul network diversity is a diverse, long-distance network utilizing T-l circuits among the major long-distance carriers. It ensures long-distance access should any carrier experience a network failure. Last-mile circuit protection is a redundant combination of local carrier T-ls, microwave and/or coaxial cable access to the local communications loop. This enables the facility to have access during a local carrier communication disaster. Alternate local-carrier routing is also utilized.
