An organization relies on embedded systems that are critical to operations but cannot receive software updates from the vendor. Which security concern does this situation most likely present?
When systems cannot receive updates, they have an inability to patch. This means known vulnerabilities cannot be fixed, leaving the system exposed to potential exploits. Managing such systems requires additional security measures to mitigate risks associated with unpatched vulnerabilities.
