A security officer wants to implement a vulnerability scanning program.

 Scanning Strategy:

Scanning a representative sample of systems minimizes the output data while providing a realistic overview of the organization’s vulnerability landscape.

 Practical Benefits:

This approach reduces operational impact and data noise while ensuring that insights are actionable and reflective of the larger environment.

 Supporting Reference:

EC-Council CCISO guidance recommends representative sampling as a best practice for organizations with large infrastructures to balance thoroughness and efficiency.
