During a vulnerability assessment, an organization notices that its scanning tool fails to detect several important servers. They suspect some configuration settings are preventing the tool from discovering them. Which step is best to address this issue?
Expand the scanning parameters to include the missing systems
Expanding the scanning parameters to include the missing systems ensures they are analyzed. Verbose logging can help with troubleshooting but does not necessarily correct coverage gaps. Traffic mirroring is a passive technique typically used for monitoring rather than adjusting scan scope. Switching approaches is often used for different testing objectives rather than discovering overlooked resources.
