ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

An analytics application runs on Amazon EC2 instances in a private subnet behind an Application Load Balancer. A vulnerability scan finds the OS is two minor versions behind (CVSS v3 score 3.1). Patching would require eight hours of downtime and cost USD 40 000. Management logs the issue in the risk register, postpones action until a migration in six months, and implements no immediate controls. Which risk-treatment strategy is being used?

  • Avoid the risk by decommissioning the EC2 instances and moving the workload off AWS

  • Transfer the risk by purchasing cyber-insurance to cover potential exploitation

  • Accept the risk and monitor it until the planned migration

  • Mitigate the risk immediately by scheduling the OS upgrade outside business hours
