Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 117 discussion

A. will reveal vulnerabilities in the Modbus protocol - Incorrect. Vulnerability scanners are designed to detect known vulnerabilities in common operating systems, software, and applications. They are not designed to detect vulnerabilities in specific protocols such as Modbus. C. may reduce the true positive rate of findings - Incorrect. Vulnerability scans are designed to detect known vulnerabilities, and the true positive rate of findings is increased, not reduced, by running a scan on a hybrid network. D. will create a denial-of-service condition on the IP networks - Incorrect. While running a vulnerability scan may create a large amount of traffic on the network, it will not create a denial-of-service condition. A denial-of-service condition is caused by malicious actors sending large amounts of traffic or malicious requests to a network or system with the intent of overwhelming it and preventing legitimate requests from being processed.

Vulnerability scanners are designed to identify weaknesses and security flaws in networked systems. However, running a vulnerability scanner on a hybrid network segment introduces the risk of inadvertently triggering unexpected behaviors or failures in control systems. This can occur due to factors such as the scanner's network traffic, scanning techniques, or the vulnerabilities being scanned.

B is right answer
