A security practitioner completes a vulnerability assessment on a company’s network and finds several vulnerabilities, which the operations team remediates. Which of the following should be done next?
Rescanning the network is essential to verify that the previously identified vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated and to ensure that no new vulnerabilities have been introduced. This step confirms the effectiveness of the remediation efforts before moving on to further actions such as audits, penetration tests, or reporting.
The next step should be C. Rescan the network.
After vulnerabilities are remediated, a rescan is essential to verify that the identified vulnerabilities have been properly addressed and no new vulnerabilities have emerged as a result of the remediation efforts. This helps ensure the network is now secure and that the remediations were effective.
