Which of the following actions is the most crucial when a zero-day vulnerability is discovered in a critical system?
Wait for the vendor to release an official patch.
Implement compensating controls to mitigate the risk.
Notify all stakeholders about the vulnerability.
Reconfigure other security settings in the network.
When a zero-day vulnerability is discovered in a critical system, the most crucial action is to implement compensating controls immediately as patches or direct fixes are often not available. These controls can mitigate the risk associated with the vulnerability until a permanent solution is devised. Notifying stakeholders and reconfiguring other security settings are important, but they do not directly mitigate the immediate risk caused by the zero-day vulnerability.
