ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

After a faulty application update corrupts transaction records in the company's on-premises finance database, the security administrator is asked to implement a corrective control that returns the system to a fully functional state with the least additional risk. Which action best fulfills this requirement?

  • Deploy a host-based intrusion detection system to alert on further unauthorized file changes.

  • Enable storage array mirroring so new writes are duplicated to a secondary disk set.

  • Activate application whitelisting to block any executables not explicitly approved.

  • Restore the most recent verified backup of the finance database and validate data integrity before bringing the application back online.
