You are conducting a vulnerability assessment for a financial institution. There are several vulnerabilities detected. Which asset should you prioritize for immediate remediation?
The server hosting customer financial data is highly sensitive and must be prioritized for immediate remediation due to the significant impact a breach would have on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Customer financial information is critical to the business and its protection is often mandated by regulatory requirements (e.g., PCI DSS). Lesser prioritities include intranet servers with legacy software or workstations with outdated antivirus, as the immediate risk is lower compared to customer financial data.
