A security engineer wants to ensure that every flaw identified during a network vulnerability scan is linked to a consistent, universally recognized listing of documented weaknesses. Which approach meets this requirement?
Use a plugin that automatically matches identified issues to a well-known repository
Rely on a community message board for publicly posted defect descriptions
Maintain a small internal catalog of issues labeled by custom identifiers
Adopt an offline spreadsheet that classifies problems with an internal numbering approach
A scanning plugin that cross-references a globally recognized database aligns discovered issues with a uniform tag from a universal system. This significantly improves accuracy when researching fixes and updates. Relying on purely local data or unstructured resources causes confusion and may lead to missed patches because they lack a precise, standardized label. Reusing an internal numbering system or relying on user-forum references does not provide the consistent matching needed for effective remediation.
