Actual exam question for CompTIA's CS0-003 exam

Question #: 25
Topic #: 1

A security analyst performs a vulnerability scan. Based on the metrics from the scan results, the analyst must prioritize which hosts to patch. The analyst runs the tool and receives the following output:

Which of the following hosts should be patched first, based on the metrics?

Ahost01

Bhost02

Chost03

Dhost04

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The most likely cause of the issue where an ICS (Industrial Control System) could not be updated due to hardware versioning incompatibility is a legacy system. Legacy systems often have outdated hardware and software that may not be compatible with modern updates and patches. This can pose significant challenges in maintaining security and operational efficiency.

I'm gonna have to go with Host03 on this one. It's the only one that looks like it's about to spontaneously combust.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards Host04 though - the 'Critical' severity makes it the obvious choice.

True, we should prioritize both Host04 and Host01 for patching as soon as possible.

You make a good point, Host01 should also be patched quickly due to its 'High' severity.

But what about Host01 with 'High' severity? Shouldn't that be a priority too?

I'd go with Host02. That's the only one with a 'High' severity rating, so it's gotta be the priority.
