Vulnerability Remediation and Mitigation Questions

Focuses on strategies for remediating and mitigating identified vulnerabilities. Topics include patch management practices, prioritization for remediation using scoring and business context, mitigation versus full remediation, proposing technical fixes for cryptographic, protocol, and implementation weaknesses, understanding tradeoffs of fixes, validation of remediation, rollback and emergency patching processes, and communicating remediation plans to engineering and product stakeholders. Candidates should be able to discuss concrete mitigation techniques and operational considerations.
