CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 300

A systems administrator deployed a monitoring solution that does not require installation on the endpoints that the solution is monitoring. Which of the following is described in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Agentless solution
• B. Client-based soon
• C. Open port
• D. File-based solution

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Agentless solution, because it refers to a monitoring approach that functions without requiring an agent installed on the target systems. The other options, such as Client-based soon and File-based solution, imply the need for installation or specific configurations on the endpoints, which contradicts the scenario presented.
