A network team is deploying 50 new routers. To ensure consistency and reduce configuration errors, they want to apply the same secure settings to all devices. What is the best practice?

Apply the latest firmware and skip configuration

Copy the configuration from one router to all others

Configure each router manually with unique settings

Use a configuration template based on a secure baseline

What is the first step in a typical patch management process?

Inventorying all systems and software to know what needs patching

Testing patches on production systems

Verifying that patches were applied

Deploying patches to all systems immediately

What is the primary goal of vulnerability management?

To eliminate all security risks permanently

To monitor network traffic for attacks

To ensure that all software is up to date

To continuously identify, classify, prioritize, remediate, and mitigate vulnerabilities

A vulnerability scan identifies a critical vulnerability in a web application. The development team says a patch will take two weeks to develop and test. The application is internet-facing and business-critical. What is the best immediate action?

Implement a web application firewall (WAF) rule to mitigate the vulnerability

Ignore the vulnerability until the patch is ready

Apply the patch immediately without testing

Take the application offline until the patch is ready

How do vulnerability assessment tools contribute to the vulnerability management process?

By preventing attackers from exploiting vulnerabilities

By automatically fixing all vulnerabilities without human intervention

By replacing the need for security patches

By providing data that helps prioritize which vulnerabilities to address first
