An organization ran a vulnerability test on its new platform. The report indicated no serious threats. However, an incident revealed a major weakness was missed. Which approach best addresses such an oversight?
Configure minimal resource usage to avoid performance strain
Conduct more frequent scans to gather results early
Enable credential-based scanning for additional coverage
Focus scanning on endpoints while excluding non-essential systems
Enabling thorough credential-based scans captures a wider range of potential issues by inspecting areas that might not be visible to a basic check. This reduces missed weaknesses because deeper asset details become available, increasing overall coverage. Conducting more frequent scans does not by itself guarantee deeper visibility. Configuring minimal resource usage can lower the depth of the test. Focusing on endpoints misses critical layers of the environment that might contain vulnerabilities.
