Selected Answer: D
The correct answer is: D. Credentialed scanning Explanation: • D. Credentialed scanning involves scanning a system with valid login credentials, allowing the scanner to access detailed information about installed software, including version numbers, patch levels, and configuration settings. This makes it highly effective for detecting outdated or vulnerable software packages. Why not the others? • A. Data loss prevention (DLP) – Focuses on monitoring and protecting sensitive data, not identifying outdated software. • B. Configuration management – Helps manage system configurations, but doesn’t actively scan for outdated software unless integrated with scanning tools. • C. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) – A database of known vulnerabilities, but not a methodology for scanning or detecting outdated packages.
