When setting up a virtual machine for a client, what is a necessary security measure to help protect against vulnerabilities that may be present in the operating system or applications running on the virtual machine?
Disabling unused network ports on the host machine
Configuring a complex host operating system password
Allocating additional CPU resources to the virtual machine
Regularly applying updates and patches is crucial for security because attackers often exploit known vulnerabilities in systems. Keeping the software up-to-date ensures that these vulnerabilities are addressed and that the virtual machine has the latest security fixes. Other options are potential security measures but do not directly relate to defending against vulnerabilities within the operating system or applications.
