Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 318 discussion

What's the point of having an emergency contact if you're not going to contact them when there's an emergency? If not this then what would be constitute contacting the emergency contact?

In this scenario, the penetration tester should notify the Primary contact first. The primary contact is usually the designated point of contact for the penetration test and would be responsible for handling any critical issues or incidents that arise during the test.

It's a horrible question but just think about it. You would still call the Primary contact 1st before calling the emergency contact.

Critical system = Emergency

D. Primary: The primary contact is the designated main point of contact for the penetration test. This person is responsible for overseeing the test and should be informed first about any critical issues, including system downtime. The primary contact can then coordinate with the technical team or escalate as necessary. A. Secondary: The secondary contact is typically the backup contact person. The primary contact should be notified first. B. Emergency: Emergency contacts are usually reserved for situations that involve immediate danger to people or require urgent response from emergency services. While taking down a critical system is serious, it typically doesn’t necessitate contacting emergency services. C. Technical: Technical contacts might be relevant for resolving the issue, but they should be informed through the primary or designated contacts to ensure proper communication protocol.

yes B because it's after hours.

Not sure about this but I'm going with D primary contact. The correct answer is D. Primary. In most organizations, the primary contact is the first point of contact when an issue arises. They are typically responsible for managing the situation and coordinating the response. If a critical system goes down during a penetration test, the primary contact should be notified first so they can take appropriate action. If the primary contact cannot be reached, then the secondary contact would be next. The emergency and technical contacts would likely be involved as needed based on the direction from the primary or secondary contacts.

answer is B critical system.

It is an emergency

B. first it is out of hours, and second it iscritical system taken down. The emergency contact is who to contact in this situation

It's after hours, the primary went home for the night. On-calls for after hours, which make them emergency contacts.

clearly B : emergency contact for critical situations
