- The computer world is a dangerous place. We have reviewed BIA, BCP, DRP, and CIRT. All of these planning tools are used to mitigate risk. Some of these processes overlap, and in some cases, they are subparts of the larger plan. Explain for the following events, which planning tool would be the best one to address the event and minimize the risk in the future:
a.The intrusion to the Epsilon email address database
b.Tsunami in Northeastern Japan
c.Disruption of Amazon Cloud Servers
d.Hacking into SONY databases
e.Physical Intrusion of SEALS into Pakistan hideout
