Question
A security analyst has prepared a vulnerability scan that contains all of the company's functional subnets.

Which of the following should the analyst do to ensure this behavior does not occur during subsequent vulnerability scans?
Options
- APerform non-credentialed scans
- BIgnore embedded web server ports
- CCreate a tailored scan for the printer subnet
- DIncrease the threshold length of the scan timeout

Explanation
The best way to prevent network printers from printing pages during a vulnerability scan is to create a tailored scan for the printer subnet that excludes the ports and services that trigger the printing behavior. The other options are not effective for this purpose: performing non- credentialed scans may not reduce the impact on the printers; ignoring embedded web server ports may not cover all the possible ports that cause printing; increasing the threshold length of the scan timeout may not prevent the printing from occurring.
