CRISC Exam - Question 421


Which of the following would be a risk practitioner's BEST recommendation for preventing cyber intrusion?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AD

Strengthening vulnerability remediation efforts is the best recommendation for preventing cyber intrusion because it focuses on identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by attackers. By proactively fixing these vulnerabilities, organizations can prevent a wide range of potential cyber attacks from succeeding in the first place.

Segmentation is the strongest control mentioned here

DLP tool doesn't prevent cyber intrusions. Not all cyber intrusions go after data, for example DDOS attack. Strengthening vulnerability is the correct answer.

Answer is D

Segregation does not prevent intrusion, but rather minimizes the impact.

A is def wrong, I understand why you would choose B, but that won't prevent you from the intrusion, I believe D, fixing the vulnerabilities would make more sense since it will prevent intrusion. network segregation will limit lateral movements, but not prevent intrusion.

I would rather prefer D as answer than B , network segmentation actual prevent intruders movement from one NW to other (data, mgt layers), but won't prevent intruders.

Of possible answers D makes the most sense, as it is the widest. Then, second choice would be B. A makes little sens (does not prevent intrusion, but might prevent harm to be made by intrusion), and C is reaction, not prevention.

Vulnerabilities are the ones to be exploited for cyber intrusion

should be D

i think its D because By strengthening vulnerability remediation efforts, organizations can proactively identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cyber attackers.

Establish a cyber response plan.

Nope. A cyber response plan would be reactive or post incident. The question was about preventing.

B. Implement network segregation. While all the options mentioned are important for cybersecurity, implementing network segregation is often considered the best approach for preventing cyber intrusion. Network segregation, also known as network segmentation, involves dividing an organization's network into smaller, isolated segments or zones. Each segment has limited access to other segments, reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement by cyber attackers.
