EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA v8) — Question 6

Which one of the following tools of trade is an automated, comprehensive penetration testing product for assessing the specific information security threats to an organization?

Answer options

• A. Sunbelt Network Security Inspector (SNSI)
• B. CORE Impact
• C. Canvas
• D. Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Canvas is the correct choice because it is specifically designed for automated penetration testing and can comprehensively assess security threats. Sunbelt Network Security Inspector, CORE Impact, and Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer are valuable security tools but do not provide the same level of automated penetration testing capabilities as Canvas.
