A parks department plans public Wi-Fi kiosks that would expose unsegmented access into the utility SCADA VLAN. Redesign will take months and residual risk exceeds appetite. What strategy should leadership apply until a safe design exists?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the ride isn't safe yet, you don't open the fairground gate—you avoid running it until the rails are fixed. Skipping the unsafe kiosk launch is avoidance, not a sticker-and-hope plan.
Full Explanation
Risk avoidance eliminates the activity that creates unacceptable risk when mitigation cannot bring residual risk within appetite in time. Delaying or canceling the kiosk launch until architecture isolates SCADA is avoidance. Superficial labels, informal notes, and blind acceptance do not reduce the exposure.
