I was wondering if I was the only one who did not understand most of the stuff in the IT part of BEC, when I came across this Q in Becker:
Which of the following risk can be minimized by requiring all employees accessing the information system to use passwords?
A. Collusion
B. Data entry errors
C. Failure of server duplicating function
D. Firewall vulnerability.

They go on to explain how D is the closest best answer, why A & B are not the correct answers,...... and here comes the amusing part "It is difficult to determine what "failure of server duplicating function" even means, but, certainly, whatever it is, the usage of passwords or the lack of passwords would have no effect on it."
Very refreshing to know that I am not alone :)

A grandfather-Father-Son file rotation procedure may be utilized, in which the newest file(the son) is kept for the next procession cycle, the next newest file ( the father) is retained in case there are problems in processing and if needed for audit trail, and the oldest file (the grandfather) is retained off-site for disaster recovery..

This cracks me up..
