A network has been infected with a worm. Which of the following would be the BEST security measures to take? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Update the IPS signatures.
• B. Update the network firewall.
• C. Update the malware definitions.
• D. Quarantine the network.
• E. Reset the network router.
• F. Contact the ISP.

Correct answer: C, D
