A security team is defining SLAs for issues discovered by ASPM. They have a critical customer-facing application and an internal reporting tool. They want to ensure that a critical vulnerability in the customer-facing application is remediated faster than a similar vulnerability in the internal tool. What is the most effective way to achieve this in ASPM?

Configure the internal tool's SLA to be stricter than the customer-facing application's SLA.

Use a single SLA but manually escalate issues found in the customer-facing application.

Define separate SLAs based on application criticality and assign them to the respective applications.

Create a single SLA with a 24-hour response time for all critical issues.

Which capability is a core feature of Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)?

Automatically patching operating systems and application dependencies

Correlating security findings from multiple tools into a unified risk view

Encrypting data at rest and in transit for all application databases

Providing a virtual private network (VPN) for secure remote access to applications

A security analyst is reviewing the ASPM dashboard and notices that a 'critical' issue in the payment application has a status of 'SLA Breached'. The issue was discovered 30 hours ago and the SLA target was 24 hours. What does this status indicate?

The issue is a false positive and does not require remediation.

The issue is currently being worked on and is expected to be resolved soon.

The issue was remediated, but the SLA was not updated in the system.

The issue was not remediated within the defined 24-hour SLA window.

In the context of ASPM, what distinguishes a 'dynamic' business application from a 'manual' one?

Dynamic applications are those that change frequently, while manual applications are those that are static

Dynamic applications are always cloud-native, while manual applications are always on-premises

Dynamic applications are those that use microservices, while manual applications are monolithic

Dynamic applications are automatically discovered and updated based on infrastructure changes, while manual applications require explicit user registration

What is the purpose of defining an SLA for a security issue in ASPM?

To automatically fix all security issues without human intervention

To provide a report of all security issues to management

To prioritize issues based on the cost of the application

To ensure that security issues are addressed within a specified timeframe based on their severity
