A company needs to ensure that their scheduled vulnerability scans do not impact their critical operations but also wants to maintain up-to-date security. What is the BEST approach to achieve this balance?
Conduct external scans only to avoid affecting internal operations.
Use non-credentialed, passive scanning methods to minimize impact.
Schedule scans during low-traffic or maintenance windows.
Perform segmentation of the network to reduce the impact on critical operations.
Scheduling vulnerability scans during low-traffic or maintenance windows ensures that critical operations are not impacted while still maintaining an up-to-date security posture. This minimizes operational disruptions and allows comprehensive scanning. Even though segmenting the network is also important, timing the scans correctly grants a more immediate balance between security needs and operational demands.
