CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 Practice Question
Implementing compensating controls post-scan can effectively diminish the necessity for rescanning a system after initial vulnerability identification.
True
False
Implementing compensating controls post-scan can effectively diminish the necessity for rescanning a system after initial vulnerability identification.
True
False
This statement is misleading and thus incorrect. Compensating controls may mitigate the risk of identified vulnerabilities, but they do not replace the need for rescanning the system. Rescanning is essential to verify that vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed and that the compensating controls or applied patches are functioning as expected. Additionally, new vulnerabilities may have been discovered since the last scan, or changes to the system could introduce new security gaps, further necessitating rescanning. Incorrect answers might appear convincing because compensating controls do play a role in decreasing the risk of known vulnerabilities; however, they are not a substitute for the verification process provided by a follow-up scan.
