Single Answer
0Ana's vendor has informed her that the hardware her organization uses is considered end-of-life. What should Ana do?
Answer Options
A
Identify replacement hardware and purchase it immediately.
B
Purchase an extended support contract from a third-party vendor.
C
Begin plans to phase out the equipment before it reaches end-of-support.
D
Install final patches and then isolate the hardware from the network.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
End-of-life announcements typically mean that the equipment is no longer being produced or sold. The equipment will typically have a longer supported life, so Ana can continue to use it but should plan for what to do when end-of-support occurs. At that time, replacing it, isolating it, or purchasing third-party support are all possible solutions depending on Ana's needs.
