| 1. Plausible Scenario is a realistic event that could disrupt the delivery of important or critical business services, leading to unacceptable impacts.
Plausible Scenario:
Note (1): is used within operational resilience to stress test the impact tolerances that have been developed for important business services and to identify weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and associated mitigating actions.
Note (2): includes risk resulting from disruption to cyber, technology, people, third party dependency, pandemics and disasters.
Note (3): requires the board of directors to consider a broad range of severe but plausible scenarios, including:
- lockdown due to pandemic
- cyber security incidents including credential and identity theft; data theft and manipulation; disruptive and destructive malware; emerging technologies: blockchain, cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence; and disinformation
- catastrophic natural disasters.
