D. Establish a contractual agreement with a second ISP to cover connection to the disaster recovery site. The best way for the bank to minimize risk in this situation is to have redundancy in its internet connectivity to the disaster recovery site. Currently, both the primary and disaster recovery sites are supported by the same Internet service provider (ISP), which creates a single point of failure. If this ISP experiences an outage or other issues, it could disrupt both the primary and disaster recovery operations. By establishing a contractual agreement with a second ISP to cover the connection to the disaster recovery site, the bank ensures that it has a backup internet connection. This redundancy reduces the risk of downtime or data loss in the event of a connectivity issue with the primary ISP. This approach enhances the bank's business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities.
