What is the detailed plan of action for isolating faults and restoring service in cyber operations?

• A. Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs)
• B. Emergency Drills
• C. Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks (RAID)
• D. Cyberspace Centers of Excellence (COEs)

Answer: (A)

Having a formal, pre-defined set of actions to isolate faults and restore service in cyber operations is essential. Emergency Operating Procedures lay out the step-by-step actions, roles, communication channels, containment steps, and recovery steps needed during an outage. They ensure responders know exactly what to do, when to do it, and who does it, reducing downtime and preserving mission continuity. Emergency drills are valuable for practicing those procedures but do not themselves serve as the action plan. RAID is a technology for disk redundancy and performance, not a plan of action for incident response. Cyberspace Centers of Excellence focus on research and collaboration, not on operational response procedures. So the detailed plan of action is Emergency Operating Procedures.
