If a SOC has a goal of 99.999% uptime, how many minutes of downtime a year would be considered within its goal?

Approximately 5 minutes per year.
Approximately 10 minutes per year.
Approximately 20 minutes per year.
Approximately 30 minutes per year.

Explanation: Within a year, there are 365 days x 24 hours a day x 60 minutes per hour = 525,600 minutes. With the goal of uptime 99.999% of time, the downtime needs to be controlled under 525,600 x (1-0.99999) = 5.256 minutes a year.
