Question 1 of 3 · Threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigations
Answer and explanation
Best answer: Validate and apply the workaround, monitor it, and track the pending patch
A validated compensating control can reduce exposure while the permanent fix is pending. Retain the vulnerability record, residual risk, and a plan to apply and verify the patch.
Why the other choices fit less well
Waiting leaves exposure unchanged, and a hostname change does not block the flaw. A workaround reduces risk without necessarily removing the vulnerability, so closing it as permanently fixed overstates the evidence.
Best answer: Grant approved read-only access to that dataset with a reviewed expiry
Limit permissions to the approved task, resource and duration. Review the expiry and record the grant so access can be removed when the investigation ends.
Why the other choices fit less well
Permanent administrator rights exceed the task. Shared credentials weaken individual accountability. Disabling logs removes evidence without reducing the permissions required.
Best answer: Preserve both records and investigate or repeat the transfer before relying on the copy
The received bytes have not passed the expected integrity check. Preserve the acquisition record and investigate the discrepancy or acquire a verified copy.
Why the other choices fit less well
A filename does not establish byte-level integrity. Replacing the original hash hides the discrepancy. Do not describe the copy as verified until the mismatch is resolved.
