Question:
Molly's organization has suffered a security breach and suspects that the attackers may have gained access to their web servers. Evidence indicates that the private keys for the server's certificates were compromised, and furthermore, the passphrases for the certificates were stored in the same directory. What initial step should Molly take to address this problem?
A
Revoke the certificates.
explanation
In case the private key and passphrase for a certificate are compromised, the certificate must be revoked. Although a new certificate will have to be obtained, revocation is the initial step in appropriately addressing the situation. Merely altering the password will not be effective, and modifying either the private or public key will necessitate a new certificate.
