An organization wants to ensure its systems are protected against known security vulnerabilities promptly while maintaining operational stability. Which of the following approaches would BEST achieve this objective?
Schedule annual security assessments to identify vulnerabilities
Implement an automated testing and deployment process for software fixes
Restrict user permissions to prevent unauthorized software changes
Discontinue the use of software that requires frequent updates
Implementing an automated testing and deployment process for software fixes ensures that updates are applied promptly after being validated, reducing the window of exposure to known vulnerabilities while minimizing disruptions to operations. Scheduling annual security assessments is important but too infrequent to address vulnerabilities in a timely manner. Discontinuing the use of software that requires frequent updates is impractical and may hinder business functions. Restricting user permissions enhances security but does not directly address the prompt application of fixes to known vulnerabilities.
