Question
A user receives a notification about a new software vulnerability. Which of the following is the best way to secure the software?
- A. Configuring a firewall
- B. Applying updates Correct
- C. Enabling authentication
- D. Uninstalling the program
Explanation
Vendors fix known vulnerabilities by releasing patches, so applying the update removes the flaw while keeping the software usable. A firewall or authentication may reduce exposure but leave the vulnerable code in place. Uninstalling removes the risk but also the software the user needs, so it is not the best way to secure it.
