Exam CS0-001 topic 1 question 64 discussion

D. high accuracy of results, and be centrally managed through an enterprise console.

D is the answer

I am leaning towards C.

This is C, there is already a technology like this. https://www.tenable.com/blog/tenable-introduces-agent-based-scanning-in-nessus-manager What the question meant is to have a centrally manage console - is to have a console that can manage all systems for both central and remote laptops which C suffices.

Answer - D. I thought about C but this is about hitting all devices and the student one too. I think the idea is that you cant install an agent on the student devices and active scanning will pick em up. Similar Q on 002

Since the college wants to ensure there is a centrally-managed enterprise console, using an active scanning engine installed on the enterprise console would best meet these requirements. Then, the college’s cybersecurity analysts could perform scans on any devices that are connected to the network using the active scanning engine at the desired intervals. Agent-based scanning would be ineffective since the college cannot force the installation of the agents onto each of the personally owned devices brought in by the students or faculty. A cloud-based or server-based engine may be useful, but it won't address the centrally-managed requirement. Passive scanning is less intrusive but is subject to a high number of false positives.

Isn't this C - combination of server-based and agent-based? Server based scanning will be able to scan the centrally managed machines without any issues, and as for student/employee laptops - this will be scanned using agent based since they will not be permanently connected on the university's network. The scans for the laptops could be triggered over the internet.

anyone care to explain?
