ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

During a weekly vulnerability scan of 500 Amazon EC2 instances, the security team receives more than 3,000 findings. Only two days are available in the upcoming maintenance window for remediation. According to industry-accepted vulnerability management practices, which approach will best prioritize the fixes so the team addresses the most significant risks first?

  • Apply fixes in the exact order the scanner reported them to keep the report sequence intact.

  • Rank findings by CVSS base score and the criticality of the affected asset, remediating high-severity issues on Internet-facing production systems first.

  • Install all vendor-supplied patches and defer any issues that require configuration changes to the next maintenance cycle.

  • Patch every vulnerability on development instances before touching production so updates can be tested safely.
