An enterprise cybersecurity team categorizes software patch deployment tasks into four priority tiers (Tier 1: Highest Priority to Tier 4: Lowest Priority) based on two criteria:
1. Exposure Risk: Public-Facing or Internal-Only
2. Threat Severity: Critical, High, or Moderate
The prioritization rules are defined as follows:
- Tier 1: Public-Facing and Critical Severity
- Tier 2: Public-Facing and High Severity, OR Internal-Only and Critical Severity
- Tier 3: Public-Facing and Moderate Severity, OR Internal-Only and High Severity
- Tier 4: Internal-Only and Moderate Severity
Four upcoming deployment tasks are described below:
- Patch Alpha: Public-Facing system with Critical Severity
- Patch Beta: Internal-Only system with Critical Severity
- Patch Gamma: Public-Facing system with Moderate Severity
- Patch Delta: Internal-Only system with Moderate Severity
Which of the following represents the correct sequence of deployment tasks ordered from highest priority (1st) to lowest priority (4th)?
- 1Patch Alpha (Public-Facing, Critical Severity)
- 2Patch Beta (Internal-Only, Critical Severity)
- 3Patch Gamma (Public-Facing, Moderate Severity)
- 4Patch Delta (Internal-Only, Moderate Severity)
