ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

An enterprise security team becomes aware of a newly disclosed critical vulnerability in a widely deployed operating system. According to sound configuration-management practice, how should the team treat the organization's approved configuration baselines in response to this discovery?

  • Defer any baseline updates until the next scheduled annual baseline review, regardless of the vulnerability's severity.

  • Leave the baselines unchanged and simply add the issue to a separate vulnerability-exception list indefinitely.

  • Evaluate whether the vulnerability affects the organization's systems, test the remediation in a staging environment, obtain change-management approval, and then update the baselines.

  • Update the baselines immediately to include the vendor's patch, even before confirming whether any in-scope systems are affected.
