Detection of sophisticated attackers is crucial, though.

I feel like detection of sophisticated attackers might come later in the process, but I can't quite remember the order of priorities.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe it was about understanding the network topology first.

I'm not so sure... I remember something about resiliency being crucial, especially for CPS.

I think the first consideration should be risk assessment. It helps identify vulnerabilities before anything else.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on how to approach this. I'll need to review my notes on network diagrams and critical path analysis.

Okay, let's see here. The DNS server being down or unavailable seems like a likely culprit, since the server can be reached by IP but not by name. I'll make sure to check that first.

I really doubt option D is true; I recall reading that GPU utilization can be monitored in Prometheus on Alibaba Cloud.
