Free CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 Practice Question

A company's policy dictates that critical security patches should be applied within 72 hours of release. However, the latest patch for a critical vulnerability causes compatibility issues with a business-critical application. As a result, the patch cannot be immediately deployed. In the interim, which compensating control should the cybersecurity analyst recommend for inclusion in the vulnerability management report to mitigate the risk?

  • Enforce a temporary policy to change all users' passwords to a more complex set that exceeds current standard requirements.

  • Implement increased log monitoring on affected systems to detect any anomaly or intrusion attempt.

  • Conduct an immediate training session for users on phishing prevention and safe internet browsing habits.

  • Adjust network configurations to isolate the affected systems into a separate, restricted network zone.
