CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 250

Which of the following is conducted frequently to maintain an updated list of a system's weaknesses?

Answer options

• A. Penetration test
• B. Posture assessment
• C. Risk assessment
• D. Vulnerability scan

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Vulnerability scan is designed to identify and document weaknesses in a system on a frequent basis. While penetration tests and risk assessments are important, they are not conducted as regularly as vulnerability scans, and posture assessments focus more on the overall security posture rather than simply identifying vulnerabilities.
