Why is it important to manage assets throughout their entire lifecycle?

To ensure assets are properly secured, maintained, and disposed of at the end of their useful life

To reduce the need for asset inventory tracking

To increase the purchase price of assets when they are sold

To eliminate the need for software updates

A hospital network team discovers that an unmanaged printer on the radiology floor is running outdated firmware with a known remote-code-execution vulnerability. The printer was purchased three years ago but was never added to the asset inventory. Which immediate action best addresses the root cause of this security gap?

Apply the latest firmware patch to the printer and document the change in a change ticket.

Run a vulnerability scan on the printer to confirm the firmware version before taking any action.

Disconnect the printer from the network until it is replaced with a newer model.

Add the printer to the asset inventory and assign an owner, then schedule it for firmware patching.

A vulnerability scan reveals that several workstations are missing critical updates. The IT team needs to ensure that the updates are properly applied and that the systems are actually protected. Which step in the patch management process is essential after deployment?

Assessment of the vulnerability severity

Verification that the patches were installed successfully

Documentation of the patch source

A company allows employees to use personal smartphones for work email. The security team is concerned about data leakage if a device is lost or stolen. Which MDM capability directly addresses this concern?

Configuration profile deployment

How does a configuration baseline help in detecting unauthorized changes?

By automatically blocking all configuration changes

By providing a reference point against which current configurations can be compared

By encrypting configuration files

By logging all user activity on the system
