ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company hosts several Windows Server 2012 R2 file servers on Amazon EC2. Microsoft will end extended support for this operating system in a few weeks, and your security policy states that production systems must run vendor-supported software. The servers store business-critical data and must remain available with minimal disruption. Which approach BEST meets the organization's asset lifecycle and security requirements?

  • Maintain the existing Windows Server 2012 R2 instances but restrict all inbound Internet traffic through more restrictive security groups and NACLs.

  • Purchase Microsoft Extended Security Updates (ESUs) through AWS and defer any migration plans until just before the ESU period ends.

  • Deploy new EC2 instances from a supported Windows Server 2022 AMI, migrate the file shares during a planned maintenance window, and decommission the Windows Server 2012 R2 instances.

  • Disconnect the servers from the corporate network and require administrators to use bastion hosts with multi-factor authentication for access, leaving the operating system unchanged.
