Question 1 of 30
In a data center environment, a network administrator is tasked with securing the infrastructure against common security threats. They decide to implement a multi-layered security approach that includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and regular vulnerability assessments. During a routine assessment, they discover that several servers are vulnerable to SQL injection attacks due to outdated web application frameworks. What is the most effective strategy to mitigate this specific vulnerability while ensuring the overall security posture of the data center remains robust?
Update the web application frameworks and implement input validation techniques to sanitize user inputs.
Increase the firewall rules to block all incoming traffic to the affected servers.
Deploy a web application firewall (WAF) to filter and monitor HTTP traffic to and from the web application.
Conduct a full network segmentation to isolate the vulnerable servers from the rest of the infrastructure.
