Question 1 of 30
Examination of the data shows a critical zero-day vulnerability has been discovered in a production web application, posing an immediate threat to sensitive user data. The development team has proposed a quick fix, but it has not undergone formal testing. The operations team is concerned about potential system instability if the fix is deployed rapidly. Considering the urgency and the potential impact, what is the most appropriate course of action?
Isolate the affected application, conduct a rapid risk assessment, develop and test a patch in a staging environment, deploy the validated patch with a rollback plan, and implement continuous monitoring.
Immediately deploy the proposed quick fix to production to mitigate the vulnerability as quickly as possible.
Roll back the entire application to its previous stable version to eliminate the vulnerability.
Defer the remediation of this vulnerability until the next scheduled maintenance window.
