VerifiedInformation Security Risk Management

An organization’s cloud application is discovered to contain a serious vulnerability. After evaluating the risk, which of the following is the information security manager’s BEST course of action?

Explanation

The business owner is responsible for accepting and directing treatment of the application’s business risk. Reporting the assessed vulnerability enables an authorized decision on remediation, compensating controls, risk acceptance, or operational interruption. A vulnerability alone does not necessarily require incident response or an immediate service shutdown.
