The organization does not have the time to remediate the vulnerability; however it is critical...

 Role of Compensating Controls:

Compensating controls are alternative measures implemented to mitigate risks when it is not feasible to remediate vulnerabilities directly.

 Key Actions:

Examples include deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF), monitoring systems, or adjusting user privileges to reduce exposure.

These controls buy time while permanent solutions are developed.

 Why Not Other Options:

Developer security training (A): Long-term measure but not immediate mitigation.

Intrusion Detection Systems (B): Useful for monitoring but not specific to mitigating application vulnerabilities.

Security testing tools (C): Help identify issues but do not address the immediate need for risk reduction.

 EC-Council Alignment:

The use of compensating controls aligns with the CISO's responsibility to maintain security while balancing operational constraints.
