Description

CISA Domain 4: Backup, Storage & Restoration ControlsThis episode is part of the CISA Audit Judgment Series — a structured, scenario-based learning path focused on Domains 4 and 5, the heaviest-weighted sections of the CISA exam.In this episode, we investigate a scenario where backups ran successfully for months — but none of them could be restored.

Vance on Amazon.📘 Amazon link: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FX526S3V⁠We don’t just help you pass.We prepare you to become formidable in the field.
