Selected Answer: D
D should be correct. I missed this one, but after thinking about it, it make sense. a Zero-Day attack means that there are no anti-virus methods for it and there are no patches available to fix the problem. C is disrupting operations (which is never the answer) leaving us with D. Just the thought of selecting "work-around" as an answer makes me not feel good, but in this case, I understand.

My concern to D is how security team provides an IT workaround solution? It should be the business team works with IT Infrastructure team, security can help to evaluate it.

Selected Answer: B
Zero-day vulnerabilities are security vulnerabilities that are discovered by attackers before the software vendor becomes aware of them. These vulnerabilities pose a significant risk as there is no available patch or fix from the vendor at the time of discovery. Therefore, it is crucial to have an effective and efficient process in place to respond to zero-day vulnerabilities. Implementing an emergency patch deployment process allows the IT team to rapidly deploy patches or temporary fixes to mitigate the risk associated with the zero-day vulnerability. This helps to close the security gap and protect systems and data from potential attacks.

Selected Answer: B
Of the options listed, implementing an emergency patch deployment process (Option B) is the most important requirement when establishing a process for responding to zero-day vulnerabilities. This ensures that patches are deployed as soon as they become available, reducing the time window for attackers to exploit the vulnerability.
