Description |
---|
Failure to a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability in the event of a failure of the information system or a component of the system. Preserving system state information facilitates system restart and return to the operational mode of the organization with less disruption of the network. Each site should have a failover solution in place in case of system fault. |
