Which of the following is the BEST way to verify that all critical production servers are utilizing upto- date virus signature files?

A.
Verify the date that signature files were last pushed out

B.
Use a recently identified benign virus to test if it is quarantined

C.
Research the most recent signature file and compare to the console

D.
Check a sample of servers that the signature files are current

Explanation:

The only accurate way to check the signature files is to look at a sample of servers. The fact that
an update was pushed out to a server does not guarantee that il was properly loaded onto that
server. Checking the vendor information to the management console would still not be indicative
as to whether the file was properly loaded on the server. Personnel should never release a virus,
no matter how benign.
