Certified Network Defender (CND) — Question 140

Choose the correct order of steps to analyze the attack surface.

Answer options

• A. Identify the indicators of exposure->visualize the attack surface->simulate the attack->reduce the attack surface
• B. Visualize the attack surface->simulate the attack->identify the indicators of exposure->reduce the attack surface
• C. Identify the indicators of exposure->simulate the attack->visualize the attack surface->reduce the attack surface
• D. Visualize the attack surface->identify the indicators of exposure->simulate the attack->reduce the attack surface

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Option D is correct because it follows a logical sequence that begins with visualizing the attack surface, which is critical for understanding the context before identifying indicators of exposure. The other options misplace the steps, leading to a lack of clarity in identifying potential vulnerabilities before simulating an attack.
