ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

An e-commerce company runs its order processing database on a single high-end server in an on-premises data center. A recent disk controller failure took the site offline for four hours, violating the company's zero-downtime availability objective. Budget allows acquisition of one additional physical server but minimal software changes. Which control will most effectively meet the availability requirement?

  • Schedule differential database backups to an off-site tape library every six hours.

  • Implement strict role-based access control to limit database administrator privileges.

  • Deploy a two-node database cluster with synchronous replication and automatic failover between the primary and the new server.

  • Install a host-based intrusion detection system on the existing database server.
