3 answers are correct. Hard

Show answer

Answer

  • B Look for signs that a compromise has already occurred
  • C Apply the workarounds recommended by the vendor
  • D Increase monitoring of the gateway's access and logs

Explanation

With zero-days, the time until the patch counts. Vendor guidance such as disabling a feature reduces the risk, and increased monitoring detects attacks. Because the flaw is already being exploited, you must also check whether the device has already been affected.
