CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 341

An analyst finds that duplicate entries may exist in the asset inventory, which is skewing vulnerability scan data. Which of the following is the best way for the analyst to improve the effectiveness of the vulnerability scan?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Device fingerprinting is the most effective method because it helps identify and differentiate unique devices on the network, reducing the chance of duplicates in the inventory. Network mapping, uncredentialed reports, and dynamic scans may provide useful information, but they do not directly address the issue of duplicate entries affecting the scan's accuracy.
