A website administrator forgot to renew the TLS certificate on time and as a result,...

This question is identical to Question 52, describing a scenario where a TLS certificate has expired, causing a TLS error message, and asking about the correct course of action. The analysis remains the same:

Option A ("There is no urgency to renew the certificate as the communication is still over TLS"): Incorrect. An expired TLS certificate invalidates the trust model, even if the connection technically uses TLS. Browsers will issue warnings, and users may bypass them, but the lack of a valid certificate compromises security, making renewal urgent.

Option B ("There is an urgency to renew the certificate as the users of the website may get conditioned to ignore TLS warnings and therefore ignore a legitimate warning which could be a real Man-in-the-Middle attack"): Correct. Repeated exposure to TLS warnings due to an expired certificate may desensitize users, increasing the risk that they ignore legitimate warnings from a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. Renewing the certificate promptly is essential to maintain security and user trust.

The correct answer is B, aligning with the CAP syllabus under "TLS Configuration" and "Certificate Management."References: SecOps Group CAP Documents - "TLS Security," "Certificate Expiry Management," and "OWASP Transport Layer Protection Cheat Sheet" sections.
