Which of the following most accurately describes the order in which a security engineer should implement secure baselines?

The correct order for implementing secure baselines is Establish, Deploy, then Maintain. First, you establish the baseline by defining the security configuration standards and policies based on best practices and organizational requirements. Next, you deploy these established baselines across all relevant systems and applications. Finally, you maintain the baselines through continuous monitoring, regular audits, and updates to ensure ongoing compliance and adapt to new threats or changes in the environment. Incorrect options reverse this logical flow, attempting to deploy or maintain before the baseline is defined, which is impractical and ineffective.
