A networking team asked a security administrator to enable Flash on its web browser. The networking team explained that an important legacy embedded system gathers SNMP information from various devices. The system can only be managed through a web browser running Flash. The embedded system will be replaced within the year but is still critical at the moment.
Which of the following should the security administrator do to mitigate the risk?

A. Explain to the networking team the reason Flash is no longer available and insist the team move up the timetable for replacement.

B. Air gap the legacy system from the network and dedicate a laptop with an end-of-life OS on it to connect to the system via crossover cable for management.

C. Suggest that the networking team contact the original embedded system's vendor to get an update to the system that does not require Flash.

D. Isolate the management interface to a private VLAN where a legacy browser in a VM can be used as needed to manage the system.
