During a security review, short-term fixes are implemented repeatedly with no deeper investigation, causing vulnerabilities to reappear. Which approach reflects this repeated mistake?
Gathering information from external advisories before major design changes
Maintaining a rolling schedule that addresses discovered vulnerabilities
Continuing to rely on an outdated application without addressing its underlying weaknesses
Mandating that all new features undergo code inspections before production
Continuing to rely on an outdated application creates a pattern of superficial fixes instead of fully solving root causes. This allows gaps to keep returning. A rolling vulnerability schedule, mandated inspections, and gathering advisories help identify and address issues before they reoccur. Repetitive reliance on old functionality makes the same weaknesses surface again and again.
