CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 Practice Question

The correct answer is 'Implement network segmentation to isolate the system.' Network segmentation is an effective compensating control that limits the movement of threats within the network and isolates critical systems, thus reducing the attack surface. This action minimizes the risk while a permanent solution is being developed. Other options, like increasing security awareness or monitoring, are valuable for overall security strategy but do not provide the immediate protection needed in this scenario. Disabling the system might not be practical due to the institution's need to maintain continuous operations.
