ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

A risk assessment of a new cloud-based telemedicine portal shows four key risks: (1) credential theft that exposes electronic protected health information (ePHI) is rated high likelihood and high impact; (2) SQL injection against the patient database is medium likelihood and high impact; (3) abuse of unauthenticated API endpoints is medium likelihood and high impact; (4) the absence of centralized security monitoring is high likelihood and medium impact. Funding allows deployment of only one new security control in the next sprint. Which control should be implemented first to reduce overall risk most effectively?

  • Deploy a web application firewall with rate-limiting rules on the public API endpoints.

  • Aggregate application and infrastructure logs into a centralized SIEM for real-time monitoring.

  • Enforce multifactor authentication for every user of the telemedicine portal.

  • Implement parameterized queries and strict input validation for all database operations.
