CertNexus Certified Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) — Question 40

Network infrastructure has been scanned and the identified issues have been remediated. What is the next step in the vulnerability assessment process?

Answer options

• A. Generating reports
• B. Establishing scope
• C. Conducting an audit
• D. Assessing exposures

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The next step after remediation is to conduct an audit, which helps in verifying that the fixes were implemented correctly and that no new vulnerabilities have been introduced. Generating reports, establishing scope, and assessing exposures are important steps but come before or after the audit process in vulnerability management.
