During a risk assessment, an organization intends to find vulnerabilities in a newly integrated environment. The security team wants comprehensive results. Which approach helps them mitigate oversights?
Correct vulnerabilities but omit updates to the vulnerability database
Test a subset of endpoints to verify vulnerabilities, then adjust scope as needed
Define the environment boundaries prior to scanning
Conduct a test focusing on critical data center network segments
Defining environment boundaries before running any scans sets a clear scope for vulnerability analysis. It ensures essential systems are included, preventing missed segments that could harbor risks. Conducting limited or partial tests often leaves gaps, and not updating references leads to inconsistent remediation strategies. Ensuring that all relevant resources are inventoried and documented promotes better outcomes in subsequent remediation and security management.
