A company is having issues with its vulnerability management program New devices/lPs are added and dropped regularly, making the vulnerability report inconsistent Which of the following actions should the company lake to most likely improve the vulnerability management process'
To improve the vulnerability management process in an environment where new devices/IPs are added and dropped regularly, the company should perform regular discovery scanning throughout the IT landscape using the vulnerability management tool. Here's why:
Accurate Asset Inventory: Regular discovery scans help maintain an up-to-date inventory of all assets, ensuring that the vulnerability management process includes all relevant devices and IPs.
Consistency in Reporting: By continuously discovering and scanning new and existing assets, the company can generate consistent and comprehensive vulnerability reports that reflect the current state of the network.
Proactive Management: Regular scans enable the organization to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities on new and existing assets, reducing the window of exposure to potential threats.

A global organization is reviewing potential vendors to outsource a critical payroll function. Each vendor's plan includes using local resources in multiple regions to ensure compliance with all regulations. The organization's Chief Information Security Officer is conducting a risk assessment on the potential outsourcing vendors' subprocessors. Which of the following best explains the need for this risk assessment?
Per SecurityX CAS-005 GRC principles, outsourcing a function does not transfer accountability for protecting personally identifiable information (PII). While subprocessors handle data, the originating organization remains responsible under most data protection laws and frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
Due care in procurement (option B) is important, but it is a supporting concept, not the primary driver in this context.
Jurisdictional compliance (option D) is a requirement, but the underlying reason for risk assessment is that accountability for PII protection remains with the organization.
In order to follow new regulations, the Chief Information Security Officer plans to use a defense-in-depth approach for a perimeter network. Which of the following protections would best achieve this goal?
A company implements an Al model that handles sensitive and personally identifiable information. Which of the following threats is most likely the company's primary concern?
A security architect is mitigating a vulnerability that previously led to a web application data breach. An analysis into the root cause of the issue finds the following:
An administrator's account was hijacked and used on several Autonomous System Numbers within 30 minutes.
All administrators use named accounts that require multifactor authentication.
Single sign-on is used for all company applications.Which of the following should the security architect do to mitigate the issue?
The hijacked administrator account was used across multiple ASNs (indicating different network locations) in a short time, despite MFA and SSO. This suggests a stolen session or token misuse. Let's analyze:
A . Token theft detection with lockouts:Useful for detecting stolen SSO tokens, but it's reactive and may not prevent initial misuse across networks.
B . Context-based authentication:This adds real-time checks (e.g., geolocation, IP changes) to verify login attempts. Given the rapid ASN changes, this proactively mitigates the issue by challenging suspicious logins, aligning with CAS-005's focus on adaptive security.
C . Decentralize accounts:This removes SSO, increasing complexity and weakening MFA enforcement, which isn't practical or secure.
