logged in, and configured a scan to run. After reading the scan results, she found that the scanner was not detecting known vulnerabilities that were detected by other scanners. What is the most likely cause of this issue?The scanner is running on an outdated operating system.The scanner's maintenance subscription is expired.Ji-won has invalid credentials on the scanner.The scanner does not have a current, valid IP address.166 Isabella runs both internal and external vulnerability scans of a web server and detects a possible SQL injection vulnerability. The vulnerability only appears in the internal scan and does not appear in the external scan. When Isabella checks the server logs, she sees the requests coming from the internal scan and sees some requests from the external scanner but no evidence that a SQL injection exploit was attempted by the external scanner. What is the most likely explanation for these results?A host firewall is blocking external network connections to the web server.A network firewall is blocking external network connections to the web server.A host IPS is blocking some requests to the web server.A network IPS is blocking some requests to the web server.

171 Renee is configuring a vulnerability scanner that will run scans of her network. Corporate policy requires the use of daily vulnerability scans. What would be the best time to configure the scans?During the day when operations reach their peak to stress test systemsDuring the evening when operations are minimal to reduce the impact on systems During lunch hour when people have stepped away from their systems but there is still considerable loadOn the weekends when the scans may run unimpeded
172 Ahmed is reviewing the vulnerability scan report from his organization's central storage service and finds the results shown here. Which action can Ahmed take that will be effective in remediating the highest-severity issue possible?Upgrade to SNMP v3.Disable the use of RC4.Replace the use of SSL with TLS.Disable remote share enumeration.Use the following scenario to answer questions 173–174.Glenda ran a vulnerability scan of workstations in her organization. She noticed that many of the workstations reported the vulnerability shown here. She would like to not only correct this issue but also prevent the likelihood of similar issues occurring in the future.
173 What action should Glenda take to achieve her goals?Glenda should uninstall Chrome from all workstations and replace it with Internet Explorer.Glenda should manually upgrade Chrome on all workstations.Glenda should configure all workstations to automatically upgrade Chrome.Glenda does not need to take any action.
174 What priority should Glenda place on remediating this vulnerability?Glenda should make this vulnerability her highest priority.Glenda should remediate this vulnerability urgently but does not need to drop everything.Glenda should remediate this vulnerability within the next several months.Glenda does not need to assign any priority to remediating this vulnerability.

The manufacturer is aware of this issue, and a patch is available. What process should Patrick follow to correct this issue?Immediately deploy the patch to all affected systems.Deploy the patch to a single production server for testing and then deploy to all servers if that test is successful.Deploy the patch in a test environment and then conduct a staged rollout in production.Disable all external access to systems until the patch is deployed.
181 Aaron is configuring a vulnerability scan for a Class C network and is trying to choose a port setting from the list shown here. He would like to choose a scan option that will efficiently scan his network but also complete in a reasonable period of time. Which setting would be most appropriate?NoneFullStandard ScanLight Scan
182 Haruto is reviewing the results of a vulnerability scan, shown here, from a web server in his organization. Access to this server is restricted at the firewall so that it may not be accessed on port 80 or 443. Which of the following vulnerabilities should Haruto still address?OpenSSL versionCookie information disclosureTRACK/TRACE methodsHaruto does not need to address any of these vulnerabilities because they are not exposed to the outside world
