PMP · Question 53 · Task 3: Assess and manage risks
During the execution of a hybrid project, a new cybersecurity threat is identified that could affect the project's cloud-based components. The threat has not yet materialized but security experts indicate it could impact data integrity and system availability. The project is 70% complete and implementing additional security measures would require 3 weeks and additional budget. What should the project manager do FIRST?
Answer options:
Immediately implement the additional security measures to protect against the potential threat
Continue with the current plan since the threat has not materialized and may never occur
Conduct a rapid risk assessment to evaluate the probability and impact of the threat and develop response options
Escalate the security threat to senior management for immediate decision
