CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 542

Which of the following can best contribute to prioritizing patch applications?

Answer options

• A. CVSS
• B. SCAP
• C. OSINT
• D. CVE

Correct answer: A

Explanation

CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) provides a standardized method for assessing the severity of vulnerabilities, which helps prioritize patching efforts. While SCAP, OSINT, and CVE are useful for security assessments, they do not specifically focus on prioritizing patch applications as effectively as CVSS does.
