An organization wants to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers from outside its network. Which method is MOST appropriate for achieving this goal?
External vulnerability scanning is the most appropriate method for identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers from outside the network. External scanning focuses on the attack surface exposed to the public, such as web servers, domain name servers (DNS), and mail servers. Internal scanning focuses on identifying vulnerabilities within the network perimeter.
