D. To prioritize the remediation of vulnerabilities
Explanation:
CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) provides a standardized way to assess the severity of vulnerabilities. It assigns a numerical score to vulnerabilities based on factors such as exploitability, impact, and the potential damage. This score helps organizations prioritize remediation efforts, ensuring that the most critical vulnerabilities are addressed first.
Breakdown of the other options:
A. To determine the cost associated with patching systems: CVSS does not calculate the cost of patching systems, but rather the severity of vulnerabilities.
B. To identify unused ports and services that should be closed: CVSS is not used for network inventory or identifying unused services. It focuses on scoring vulnerabilities.
C. To analyze code for defects that could be exploited: CVSS does not analyze code but rather scores the impact of known vulnerabilities in existing software or systems.
