Question 580
A security team wants to prioritize devices for vulnerability remediation after multiple endpoint alerts. Which response best meets the security operations requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Threat exposure and incident context together inform remediation priority. This directly addresses the requirement to prioritize risky endpoint vulnerabilities.
Incorrect Answers
Device inventory timing can lag a real patch deployment. This addresses validate apparent stale vulnerability findings; it does not directly satisfy prioritize risky endpoint vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability presence is not synonymous with confirmed exploitation. Its intended use is to distinguish exposure from active compromise, whereas this case requires the analyst to prioritize risky endpoint vulnerabilities.
Software inventories help identify similarly exposed devices beyond the first alert. That action focuses on scope affected vulnerable software footprint rather than the specified need to prioritize risky endpoint vulnerabilities.
