An analyst has prepared several possible solutions to a successful attack on the company. The solutions need to be implemented with the least amount of downtime. Which of the following should the analyst perform?
A.
Implement all the solutions at once in a virtual lab and then run the attack simulation. Collect the metrics and then choose the best solution based on the metrics.
B.
Implement every solution one at a time in a virtual lab, running a metric collection each time. After the collection, run the attack simulation, roll back each solution, and then implement the next. Choose the best solution based on the best metrics.
C.
Implement every solution one at a time in a virtual lab, running an attack simulation each time while collecting metrics. Roll back each solution and then implement the next. Choose the best solution based on the best metrics.
D.
Implement all the solutions at once in a virtual lab and then collect the metrics. After collection, run the attack simulation. Choose the best solution based on the best metrics.
To minimize downtime, testing should occur in a virtual lab, not production. The best approach is to test solutions methodically: implement one solution at a time, run an attack simulation, collect metrics, roll back, and repeat. This isolates each solution’s effectiveness, ensuring accurate metrics for decision-making without production impact.
Option A:Testing all solutions simultaneously muddies the results—metrics won’t show which solution worked.
Option B:Collecting metrics before the simulation misses the point of testing against the attack.
Option C:Correct—tests each solution independently with simulation and metrics, minimizing downtime via virtual lab use.
Option D:Like A, combining solutions obscures individual effectiveness.
