## CYBERSECURITY QUESTIONS

### Q4: What is the Cyber-Sovereignty Protocol (CSP-1113)?

**A:** CSP-1113 is DBIS's cyber-sovereignty protocol providing:
- Cryptographic security
- Zero-knowledge validation
- Cyber-Sovereign Zone (CSZ) architecture
- Secure transaction processing
- Sovereign digital identity

**Reference:** [CSP-1113 Technical Specification](../../csp_1113/CSP-1113_Technical_Specification.md), [Title VI: Cyber-Sovereignty](../../02_statutory_code/Title_VI_Cyber_Sovereignty.md)

---

### Q5: How does the Cyber-Sovereign Zone (CSZ) work?

**A:** CSZ provides:
- Isolated secure environment
- Cryptographic protection
- Zero-knowledge validation
- Secure communication channels
- Sovereign digital operations

**Reference:** [CSZ Architecture Documentation](../../06_cyber_sovereignty/CSZ_Architecture_Documentation.md), [Title VI: Cyber-Sovereignty](../../02_statutory_code/Title_VI_Cyber_Sovereignty.md)

---

### Q6: What cybersecurity measures are in place?

**A:** Cybersecurity measures include:
- Encryption (at rest and in transit)
- Access controls
- Intrusion detection
- Security monitoring
- Incident response
- Regular security audits

**Reference:** [Title X: Security](../../02_statutory_code/Title_X_Security.md), [NIST 800-53 Security Controls](../../00_document_control/standards/NIST_800-53_Security_Controls.md)

## INCIDENT RESPONSE QUESTIONS

### Q7: What should I do if I discover a security incident?

**A:** Security incident response:
1. **Immediate:** Report to Security Department immediately
2. **Containment:** Follow containment procedures
3. **Investigation:** Support security investigation
4. **Resolution:** Implement resolution measures
5. **Documentation:** Document incident and resolution

**Reference:** [Security Incident Example](../../08_operational/examples/Security_Incident_Example.md), [Title X: Security](../../02_statutory_code/Title_X_Security.md)

---

### Q8: How are security incidents classified?

**A:** Security incident classification:
- **Critical:** Immediate threat, requires immediate response
- **High:** Significant threat, requires urgent response
- **Medium:** Moderate threat, requires timely response
- **Low:** Minor threat, standard response

**Reference:** [Security Incident Example](../../08_operational/examples/Security_Incident_Example.md), [Emergency Response Plan](../../13_emergency_contingency/Emergency_Response_Plan.md)

---

### Q9: What is the security incident response process?

**A:** Incident response process:
1. Detection and reporting
2. Assessment and classification
3. Containment
4. Investigation
5. Resolution
6. Post-incident review

**Reference:** [Security Incident Example](../../08_operational/examples/Security_Incident_Example.md), [Emergency Response Plan](../../13_emergency_contingency/Emergency_Response_Plan.md)
