Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 101 discussion

From how I understand the question, they're looking for the solution to the problem rather than the means of finding problems. So, a firmware update would be the best answer, since this is a method of dealing with vulnerability on network devices and operating systems.

The MOST common method used to address Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) on network equipment and/or operating systems is firmware updates. Firmware updates can fix security vulnerabilities and address other issues on a device by updating its embedded software. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Vulnerability assessments are used to identify potential vulnerabilities, while a factory reset is a last resort to reset a device to its original settings, often erasing all existing data. A screened subnet is a network security architecture that uses two firewalls to create a demilitarized zone (DMZ).

Penso que para fazer mais sentido, a pergunta tinha de ser: Qual das opções a seguir é MAIS comumente usada para "corrigir" CVEs em equipamentos de rede e/ou sistemas operacionais? Logo, a resposta seria a C. Obs: Uma vez que CVEs são vulnerabilidades registradas em dispositivos e expostas publicamente, a melhor maneira de corrigi-las seria por actualização de firmware. I think to make more sense, the question had to be: Which of the following is MOST commonly used to "patch" CVEs on network equipment and/or operating systems? Therefore, the answer would be C. Note: Since CVEs are vulnerabilities recorded on devices and publicly exposed, the best way to fix them would be by updating the firmware.

Answer: C Firmware updates enable hardware devices to continue operating efficiently and securely. These updates typically involve some form of program alteration that fixes a known bug or patches against specific vulnerabilities. Enterprises must constantly update their devices with the latest firmware version.

I agree with C being the correct answer here.

C. Firmware update is most commonly used to address CVEs on network equipment and/or operating systems.

"commonly used to address CVEs" address = FIX, assessment = DISCOVER

It's going to be C, key word here is "address"

They tried to mislead you with this one but from what I can see a firmware update with most likely address the issue with a known CVE.

Would it not be a Vulnerability Assessment?
