Exam CS0-002 topic 1 question 412 discussion

Cloud-based agents can provide continuous monitoring and vulnerability assessment regardless of the device's connection status to the organization's network. These agents can collect and report vulnerability information even when devices are not regularly connected to the local network. MDM solutions primarily focuses on managing and securing mobile devices. Typically work well for devices that are actively managed and regularly communicate with the organization's network.

ChatGPT To obtain vulnerability information about devices that rarely connect to the network, the security analyst should consider cloud-based agents (option B). Cloud-based agents can periodically communicate with the central vulnerability management platform regardless of whether the devices are connected to the corporate network. These agents can provide valuable data, such as vulnerability assessments and security updates, for devices that are off-network or infrequently connected. Options A, C, and D are related to mobile device management (MDM) and network access control (NAC), which may not be as effective for devices that are rarely connected to the network. Cloud-based agents provide a more flexible and continuous monitoring approach in such cases.

To obtain vulnerability information about devices that rarely connect to the network, organizations can use cloud-based agents or solutions. Cloud-based agents are lightweight software agents that can be installed on devices and are capable of periodically connecting to cloud-based vulnerability management platforms. These agents collect and report vulnerability data even when the devices are not frequently connected to the corporate network. This approach ensures that all devices, including those with sporadic network connectivity, can be included in vulnerability assessment and management processes.
