A company recently addressed multiple vulnerabilities in its warehouse management application. The security manager wants to confirm the fixes are working as intended and block further attacks. Which action best confirms that the threat has been neutralized?
Review logs from earlier tests to see if the vulnerabilities were triggered before
Ask the finance department if their daily operations remain unaffected
Conduct a new security assessment to see if the previous weaknesses can still be exploited
Poll end users to gauge general satisfaction with the updated application
Revisiting the environment with a fresh security assessment helps confirm that the previous gaps no longer exist. A new evaluation can reveal any remaining exploit paths. Checking old data or collecting general user impressions does not effectively validate the success of the remediation efforts.
