An organization has witnessed malicious scripts that adapt swiftly to newly identified weaknesses, leading to unexpected system compromises. Which measure best helps reduce these incidents while minimizing normal operations disruption?
Rely on monthly patch cycles to reduce potential entry points
Perform daily reimaging of production servers to remove any hidden code
Use adaptive scanning that updates detection logic based on new exploit patterns
Adopt an offline environment that includes manual testing for modules before deployment
A process that uses adaptive scanning and updates detection logic as new exploit patterns emerge can help identify malicious behavior before it executes further damage. Regularly updated scanning stands out from other choices that rely on either frequent system rebuilds, longer patch cycles, or strictly offline methods. Daily reimaging disrupts productivity, monthly patches leave a window of opportunity for attacks, and an offline environment remains insufficient for continuous detection of emerging threats.
