Question #1 / 20

During the upgrade of a global telecom network, a sophisticated cyberattack causes critical infrastructure downtime across multiple regions. There is confusion internally about incident ownership and response priorities between IT security, project, and operations teams. The media and regulators are demanding rapid updates while customers are experiencing service disruptions. Key stakeholders are pressuring for immediate project continuation to minimize delays. Your first action should be:

A: Activate the crisis management protocol immediately, establish unified command structure among IT security, project, and operations teams, communicate holding statements to external parties, and prioritize infrastructure stabilization over project activities.
B: Initiate the established incident response plan, coordinate communication across internal and external stakeholders, stabilize critical systems, and then assess project impact before determining resumption activities.
C: Escalate to executive leadership for strategic guidance while implementing temporary communication blackout, then coordinate with legal and compliance teams before engaging external stakeholders about the security incident.
D: Continue project work in unaffected regions while the incident response team handles security issues, providing regular project status updates to maintain stakeholder confidence and project momentum.
