Which one of the following would be the least useful metric?Time to resolve critical vulnerabilitiesNumber of open critical vulnerabilities over timeTotal number of vulnerabilities reportedNumber of systems containing critical vulnerabilities

      248 Zhang Wei completed a vulnerability scan of his organization's virtualization platform from an external host and discovered the vulnerability shown here. How should he react?This is a critical issue that requires immediate adjustment of firewall rules.This issue has a very low severity and does not require remediation.This issue should be corrected as time permits.This is a critical issue, and Zhang Wei should shut down the platform until it is corrected.

      249 Elliott runs a vulnerability scan of one of the servers belonging to his organization and finds the results shown here. Which one of these statements is not correct?This server requires one or more Linux patches.This server requires one or more Oracle database patches.This server requires one or more Firefox patches.This server requires one or more MySQL patches.

      250 Donna is working with a system engineer who wants to remediate vulnerabilities in a server that he manages. Of the report templates shown here, which would be most useful to the engineer?Qualys Top 20 ReportPCI Technical ReportExecutive ReportTechnical Report

      251 Abdul received the vulnerability report shown here for a server in his organization. The server runs a legacy application that cannot easily be updated. What risks does this vulnerability present?Unauthorized access to files stored on the serverTheft of credentialsEavesdropping on communicationsAll of the above

      252 Tom runs a vulnerability scan of the file server shown here.He receives the vulnerability report shown next. Assuming that the firewall is configured properly, what action should Tom take immediately?Block RDP access to this server from all hosts.Review and secure server accounts.Upgrade encryption on the server.No action is required.

      253 Dave is running a vulnerability scan of a client's network for the first time. The client has never run such a scan and expects to find many results. What security control is likely to remediate the largest portion of the vulnerabilities discovered in Dave's scan?Input validationPatchingIntrusion prevention systemsEncryption

      254 Kai is planning to patch a production system to correct a vulnerability detected during a scan. What process should she follow to correct the vulnerability but minimize the risk of a system failure?Kai should deploy the patch immediately on the production system.Kai should wait 60 days to deploy the patch to determine whether bugs are reported.Kai should deploy the patch in a sandbox environment to test it prior to applying it in production.Kai should contact the vendor to determine a safe timeframe for deploying the patch in production.

      255 William is preparing a legal agreement for his organization to purchase services from a vendor. He would like to document the requirements for system availability, including the vendor's allowable downtime for patching. What type of agreement should William use to incorporate this requirement?MOUSLABPABIA

      261 Eric is a security consultant and is trying to sell his services to a new client. He would like to run a vulnerability scan of their network prior to their initial meeting to show the client the need for added security. What is the most significant problem with this approach?Eric does not know the client's infrastructure design.Eric does not have permission to perform the scan.Eric does not know what operating systems and applications are in use.Eric does not know the IP range of the client's systems.

      262 Renee is assessing the exposure of her organization to the denial-of-service vulnerability in the scan report shown here. She is specifically interested in determining whether an external attacker would be able to exploit the denial-of-service vulnerability. Which one of the following sources of information would provide her with the best information to complete this assessment?Server logsFirewall rulesIDS configurationDLP configuration

      263 Mary is trying to determine what systems in her organization should be subject to vulnerability scanning. She would like to base this decision on the criticality of the system to business operations. Where should Mary turn to best find this information?The CEOSystem namesIP addressesAsset inventory
