Which of the following functions evaluates patches used to close software vulnerabilities of new systems...

 Role of System Testing:System testing evaluates patches and updates to ensure they address vulnerabilities effectively and comply with organizational policies before deployment in live environments.

 Key Actions:

Verifies the functionality of patches and updates.

Confirms that updates align with compliance requirements and do not introduce new vulnerabilities.

 Why Not Other Options:

Risk Assessment (B): Identifies risks but does not focus on testing patches.

Incident Response (C): Manages incidents, not preventive patch evaluation.

Planning (D): Focuses on strategic alignment rather than patch validation.

 EC-Council Alignment:System testing is critical to maintaining the integrity and compliance of systems, ensuring vulnerabilities are properly addressed.
