As a technician, you are tasked with creating a script to automate the backup process of company data. To maintain system security, what is the BEST next step to follow immediately before deploying the script across the company network?
Review and test the script in a dedicated test environment before deployment.
Run the script through the most recently updated anti-malware and security software.
Regularly update the script to the latest version before each use.
Always execute scripts using an administrative account to ensure they run correctly.
Reviewing and testing script in a dedicated test environment is correct because it prevents the unintentional introduction of malware, bugs, accidental deletions, etc. onto live or production systems. Scripts should be thoroughly tested in an environment isolated from production to ensure they do not contain malicious code or unintended errors that could compromise system security or reliability. The other options are good ideas, but any time changes are introduced the code or application would need to be re-tested again. The final step before deploying to a production or live environment should be the testing/quality assurance stage in a dedicated non-production environment.
