ISC2 CISSP Practice Question

Your DevSecOps team has developed a new API gateway module that enforces mutual TLS and stricter rate-limiting. The team wants to validate the control with real production traffic while ensuring that any unexpected failures affect the smallest possible user group and can be reversed immediately. Which release strategy BEST meets this security objective?

  • Perform a blue-green deployment and shift 100 % of traffic to the new environment once synthetic tests pass.

  • Enable the module with a feature flag targeting an initial 5 % of users and expand coverage as monitoring remains healthy.

  • Wrap the module in a circuit breaker that shuts down the entire gateway service if error thresholds are exceeded.

  • Keep the code in a dedicated branch until the next quarterly maintenance window, then deploy to all users at once.
