In the vulnerability management lifecycle, the phase dedicated to confirming that an applied fix or control has successfully eliminated the weakness is called _____.

### Why this is right Verification checks that remediation resolved the weakness. The course gives rescanning, control testing, and log review as ways to confirm results. ### The concept Applying a patch or changing a configuration does not guarantee success. The update may fail, a system may have been missed, or a related exposure may remain. Verification also checks whether the change created operational problems. It is followed by monitoring because new vulnerabilities and exploitation patterns can emerge after a successful fix. ### Terms - **Remediation**: A change intended to reduce or eliminate risk. - **Verification**: Testing or checking that a change achieved its intended result. ### Remember Do not assume that a remediation action worked merely because it was scheduled or reported complete.
