As a cybersecurity analyst, you ran a vulnerability scan and detected multiple vulnerabilities across various hosts. Which of the following factors should be given the highest priority when prioritizing these vulnerabilities for remediation?
Recurrence rate
Number of affected hosts
Risk score
Ease of mitigation
When prioritizing vulnerabilities for remediation, the risk score should be the highest priority because it quantifies the potential impact and likelihood of exploitation. A high-risk score indicates a serious threat that could significantly impact the organization if exploited, so those vulnerabilities should be addressed first. While affected hosts, mitigation strategies, and recurrence rates are essential, the risk score is the most critical factor to reduce the overall risk quickly.
