CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 27

An organization is upgrading its network and all of its workstations. The project will occur in phases, with infrastructure upgrades each month and workstation installs every other week. The schedule should accommodate the enterprise-wide changes, while minimizing the impact to the network. Which of the following schedules BEST addresses these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Monthly vulnerability scans, biweekly topology scans, daily host discovery scans
• B. Monthly topology scans, biweekly host discovery scans, monthly vulnerability scans
• C. Monthly host discovery scans, biweekly vulnerability scans, monthly topology scans
• D. Monthly topology scans, biweekly host discovery scans, weekly vulnerability scans

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is the best choice as it includes monthly topology scans to assess network structure while also performing biweekly host discovery scans to identify devices and maintaining monthly vulnerability scans to ensure security. The other options either increase the frequency of scans unnecessarily or do not properly align with the upgrade phases, which could lead to greater disruption in network operations.
