the passage discusses the limitations of computers, particularly their vulnerability to cyber threats like the wannacry virus. how could a large hospital protect its computer systems and patient data from similar ransomware attacks, considering the limitations of computers in independently identifying and neutralizing such threats?

a by disconnecting all computers from the internet to prevent any external acce
b by relying solely on antivirus software to detect and remove all potential threats.
c by assuming that their existing security measures are sufficient and no further action is needed
d by implementing regular software updates and patches, training employees to recognize phishing attempts, and establishing robust data backup and recovery systems ss.

Explanation:

Disconnecting all computers from the internet (a) is impractical for a hospital's operations. Relying solely on antivirus software (b) is insufficient as new threats may evade detection. Assuming existing security is enough (c) is risky given the evolving nature of cyber - threats. Regular software updates and patches fix known vulnerabilities, employee training helps prevent phishing which is a common entry - point for ransomware, and data backup and recovery systems ensure data can be restored if attacked.

Answer:

D. By implementing regular software updates and patches, training employees to recognize phishing attempts, and establishing robust data backup and recovery systems.
