Single Answer
0Sofia wants to compare vulnerabilities she has discovered in her data center based on how exploitable they are, if exploit code exists, and how hard they are to remediate. What scoring system should she use to compare vulnerability metrics like these?
Answer Options
A
CSV
B
NVD
C
VSS
D
CVSS
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) includes metrics and calculation tools for exploitability, impact, how mature exploit code is, and how vulnerabilities can be remediated, as well as a means to score vulnerabilities against users' unique requirements. NVD is the National Vulnerability Database, CSV is short for comma-separated values, and Visual SourceSafe (VSS) is an irrelevant term related to software development rather than vulnerability management.
