B - Closing Open Ports
Correct Answer: B. Closing open ports Incorrect answer: NIDS - because the "D" stands for detection, not PREVENTION. NIDS would not stop an attack it would only generate an alert.
- Nothing in the question is asking to detect the zero day attack, so NIDS is not relevant. We already know about the attack. - Nothing in the question is asking us to keep the service running with our action. - There is a low probability that a patch will solve an issue of a zero day attack. - Closing the port is the only option that can prevent malware traffic effecting the particular service.
