QuestionQ12
Endpoint SecurityThe prior system administrator at your company relied heavily on email lists—such as vendor lists and Bug Traq—to receive information about updates and patches. Although this is a useful way to obtain data, it takes time and effort to review it. To speed up the process, you decide to move to fully automated updates and patching. You configure your systems to automatically patch production servers using a cron job and a scripted apt-get upgrade command. Which of the following explains why you may want to avoid this plan?
- A The apt-get upgrade command doesn't work with the cron command because of incompatibility
- B Relying on vendor and 3rd party email lists enables updates via email, for even faster patching
- C Automated patching of production servers without prior testing may result in unexpected behavior or failures
- D The command apt-get upgrade is incorrect, you need to run the apt-get update command
