Several critical servers are unresponsive after an update was installed. Other computers that have
not yet received the same update are operational, but are vulnerable to certain buffer overflow
attacks. The security administrator is required to ensure all systems have the latest updates while
minimizing any downtime.
Which of the following is the BEST risk mitigation strategy to use to ensure a system is properly
updated and operational?
A.
Distributed patch management system where all systems in production are patched as updates
are released.
B.
Central patch management system where all systems in production are patched by automatic
updates as they are released.
C.
Central patch management system where all updates are tested in a lab environment after
being installed on a live production system.
D.
Distributed patch management system where all updates are tested in a lab environment prior
to being installed on a live production system.
