  1. Uninstalling the affected package
  2. Patching or upgrading the software
  3. Buying cyber insurance
  4. Segmenting the vulnerable host
Show the answer

Answer: B. Patching or upgrading the software

Segmentation reduces exposure and uninstalling removes the function. Only a patch or upgrade eliminates the flaw and keeps the feature.
