Exam CS0-003 topic 1 question 42 discussion

According to Jason Dion, agent based scans are always credentialed…

You dont need to touch the system at all

B: Passive scanning has the least amount of access to the system. It doesn't require credentials or installation. The most popular answer is C (agent-based scanning), but that requires an instance being installed on a host (this is access), therefore, it's not the correct answer.

Answer: C Explanation: Agent-based scanning is a method that involves installing software agents on the target systems or networks that can perform local scans and report the results to a central server or console. Agent- based scanning can reduce the access to systems, as the agents do not require any credentials or permissions to scan the local system or network. Agent-based scanning can also provide the most accurate vulnerability scan results, as the agents can scan continuously or on-demand, regardless of the system or network status or location.

Accuracy of results: Credentialed scans give security teams the necessary level of access to a system, just like any normal user, which allows for a more detailed and accurate examination of vulnerabilities than unauthenticated scans that only provide external visibility into a system.

this is a dumb question... the answers are awful. i have to go with B. passive scanning... agent based has nothing to with this... credentialed scanning just means youre using credentials within your scan. usually from a service account. this helps get more detailed information from the asset. security analyst have to be trusted with sensitive data/information or else they can not perform their duties.

“ there are concerns about granting the security team access to sensitive data” specifically says no to A. Credentialed. Answers C. Agent-based scanning

Agent BASED SCANNING ITS THE RIGHT ANSWER

The answer here is A, credentialed based scans provide the most accurate detail during a scan.

Só a C impede o compartilhamento de senhas e acessos aos ambientes.

ANSWER C: Because the exam objectives teaches us to have a single pane of glass solution and THAT verbiage holds true here >>> "involves installing software agents on the target systems or networks that can perform local scans and report the results to a central server or console.

It's C. Agent based scanning will prevent sharing credentials and accurate results

This is clearly Agent-based scanning.

the answer is C since don't want to share access to sensitive data.

ANSWER C: Agent-based scanning is a method that involves installing software agents on the target systems or networks that can perform local scans and report the results to a central server or console. Agent- based scanning can reduce the access to systems, as the agents do not require any credentials or permissions to scan the local system or network. Agent-based scanning can also provide the most accurate vulnerability scan results, as the agents can scan continuously

The right answer should be corrected

Credentialed scan makes no sense
