Quick Answer

The answer is defining a formal remediation SLA that aligns with organizational risk tolerance, establishing a remediation prioritization framework based on asset criticality and exploitability, and integrating threat intelligence to inform patching urgency. These three considerations are correct because they form the core of a risk-based vulnerability management lifecycle, where not all vulnerabilities are equal; prioritizing by asset value and exploitability ensures that resources are allocated to the highest business risk, while threat intelligence provides real-world context on active exploitation. On the CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 exam, this topic tests your ability to distinguish between operational scheduling and strategic risk alignment—a common trap is selecting “scan all assets weekly” instead of the SLA-driven approach, which focuses on measurable remediation windows rather than just frequency. Remember the mnemonic “SLA-PIE”: SLA for formal timelines, Prioritization by criticality, Intelligence on exploitability, and Evaluation of risk tolerance.
