A small organization has proprietary software that is used internally. The system has not been well maintained and cannot be updated with the rest of the environment. Which of the following is the BEST solution?
A.
Virtualize the system and decommission the physical machine.
B.
Remove it from the network and require air gapping.
C.
Implement privileged access management for identity access.
Since the system CANNOT be updated and is considered a potential security risk, physically isolating it (air gapping) from the rest of the network significantly reduces the attack surface and prevents it from being compromised or used as a launching point for attacks against other systems.
A virtualized system is a system that runs on a software layer called a hypervisor that emulates the hardware
resources of a physical machine. A virtualized system can have its own operating system, applications, and
data that are isolated from other virtualized systems or the host machine3 A virtualized system can be a
solution for a small organization that has proprietary software that is used internally but cannot be updated
with the rest of the environment. By virtualizing the system and decommissioning the physical machine, the
organization can achieve several benefits, such as:
Reducing hardware costs and maintenance
Improving performance and scalability
Enhancing security and compliance
Simplifying backup and recovery
Enabling portability and compatibility
Vote for A and here is why.
I understand that the organization has a proprietary software, they want to update this software but while the system where it relies has not been properly mantained and it cannot be upgraded accordingly. So, virtualize the system and install there the software.
B. These questions are terrible. B is the best answer I can see here as it does not specify there is a hardware issue. This appears to be a software update issue.
Everything i look i see answer is A.
i think say "remove it" in B, it is wrong. Because this software is propieraty. Rather than remove, virtualize. I going to A for a long research. If i am wrong, discuss with me?
I believe it is B. This isn't a hardware vulnerability, it's a SOFTWARE vulnerability. Decommissioning the hardware wouldn't remove the vulnerability. Moving the software to a virtualized environment also wouldn't remove the vulnerability. Air gapping is not the BEST answer, but it's the best on available here..
You know, sometimes there is no BEST answer...although B sounds good, but airgapping means it cannot communicate with any network resources. It becomes a stand alone app..oh hell..B it is.
just wanted to say thanks for your efforts and hope you pass
