Which of the following is used to quantitatively measure the criticality of a vulnerability?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

CVSS stands for Common Vulnerability Scoring System, which is a framework that provides a standardized way to assess and communicate the severity and risk of vulnerabilities. CVSS uses a set of metrics and formulas to calculate a numerical score ranging from 0 to 10, where higher scores indicate higher criticality. CVSS can help organizations prioritize remediation efforts and compare vulnerabilities across different systems and vendors.The other options are not used to measure the criticality of a vulnerability, but rather to identify, classify, or report them.Reference:CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, page 39

Haha, good one Edelmira. CVE is about as useful as a CERT at a wedding, am I right? CVSS is definitely the answer here.

Yeah, CVSS is the way to go. I remember learning about it in my security training. It's a lot more reliable than something like CVE, which is just a vulnerability identifier, not a measure of severity.

I agree with Rashad. CVSS is definitely the way to go. It takes into account factors like exploitability and impact to give you a clear, numerical score for the criticality of a vulnerability.

Hmm, this question is a tricky one. I'm pretty sure the answer is B) CVSS, or the Common Vulnerability Scoring System. It's the industry standard for quantifying the severity of a vulnerability.
