Disabling critical security controls, such as intrusion prevention systems, is an acceptable practice when conducting scheduled vulnerability scans to reduce the chances of skewed results.
The correct answer is false. While it may be tempting to disable security measures that could interfere with a scan, doing so can expose the network to real threats during the scan period. Instead, scans should be carefully planned, potentially using a test environment or simulation, to avoid false positives/negatives without compromising live security controls.
