I agree with B, it’s all about understanding the impact!

Wait, are we really not doing a gap analysis? That seems risky!

A&A is important, but I’d go with B too.
DA

I vaguely recall that a gap analysis with the baseline configuration could help identify any discrepancies after the upgrade, but I’m not confident about that.

I'm leaning towards conducting an Assessment and Authorization, but I feel like a security impact analysis might be more relevant in this case.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think reviewing the results of the most recent vulnerability scan could be important too.

I think we might need to conduct a security impact analysis to see how the upgrade affects our security posture, but I'm not entirely sure.

This seems like a tricky question. I'll need to think through the different ways groups and categories can be linked in capacity planning.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The wildcard .* in option D should match all the file paths and extensions listed in the question.

I feel like this could relate to insufficient authorization, but wouldn't that be more about access control rather than handling XML input? I'm a bit uncertain.
