Question 1 of 30
Consider a scenario where a company is looking to significantly upgrade its network security posture by implementing a new, advanced intrusion detection system (IDS). The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is tasked with determining the most effective and responsible deployment strategy. Which of the following approaches best balances security enhancement with operational continuity and stakeholder considerations?
Conduct a thorough risk assessment to identify the most critical assets and vulnerable systems, then plan a phased rollout of the IDS, prioritizing these high-risk areas, while engaging with department heads to communicate the plan and gather feedback on potential operational impacts.
Immediately deploy the new IDS across all network segments and endpoints simultaneously to ensure comprehensive coverage against all potential threats as quickly as possible.
Implement the IDS exclusively on systems that have experienced security incidents in the past six months, assuming these are the primary targets for future attacks.
Prioritize the deployment of the IDS on systems with the most complex technical configurations, believing these are the most likely to harbor sophisticated threats, without extensive consultation with end-users or department managers.
