ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

Your company operates a customer-facing website on Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group. The security team updates a centralized risk register and relies on CVSS scores to prioritize work. A remote-code-execution flaw with a CVSS v3 base score of 9.8 is announced for the HTTP daemon running on the instances. Which planned response best demonstrates the risk treatment strategy of mitigation?

  • Apply the vendor patch to the launch template and perform a rolling replacement of all EC2 instances in the Auto Scaling group.

  • Purchase additional cyber-insurance to cover any losses if the flaw is exploited while keeping the current environment unchanged.

  • Document the vulnerability in the risk register and defer any remediation until the next quarterly maintenance window.

  • Migrate the workload to an AWS managed platform that is not affected and retire the current EC2 fleet.
