An organization frequently spins up ephemeral computing environments that terminate after a short period. Which scanning approach is the BEST approach to ensure these temporary resources remain evaluated while avoiding unnecessary overhead on each resource?
Deploy a scanning tool that remains active on each server
Configure frequent broad sweeps across the entire network
Embed scanning tasks directly into the resource creation workflow
Perform a hands-on review after each server is created
Incorporating scanning steps into the pipeline ensures that all resources are analyzed at creation time. Because they have a short lifespan, waiting for manual or scheduled checks would fail to capture vulnerabilities. A permanent scanning agent adds overhead to every resource, and relying on environment-wide scans might not detect these transient servers in time.
