A security team needs a standardized approach to assess vulnerabilities on various servers. They want each scanning engine to interpret definitions consistently. Which solution best fulfills this goal?
Adopt a content approach that integrates OVAL and XCCDF checks
Create custom scripts tailored to broadcast scanning logic for each server
Host a proprietary utility that scans operating system files for anomalies
Rely on regular manual reviews of system logs for deviations
A format containing OVAL (Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language) and XCCDF (eXtensible Configuration Checklist Description Format) provides structured and uniform checks. This increases reliability and consistency across different scanning tools. Other options depend on ad hoc or custom processes, which would lead to inconsistent or fragmented results.
