Detailed __________ on the highest risk warnings can include identifying which vendor updates apply to which vulnerabilities as well as which types of defenses have been found to work against the specific vulnerabilities reported.

__________ allows for the major security control components to be reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure that they are current, accurate, and appropriate.
