Question
Thousands of computers were compromised in the compromise was detected on only three computers during the latest vulnerability scan. An analyst conducts an after action review to determine why the vulnerability was not detected on more computers. The analyst recreates the following configuration that was used to scan the network:
Which of the following best explains the reason the vulnerability was found only on three computers?

Explanation
The configuration indicates that only 1 thread is used during the scan. This means the scan is conducted sequentially, which greatly limits its efficiency in scanning a larger network. If thousands of computers need to be scanned, using only one thread results in a very slow process, and many devices may not be scanned within the allocated time. Increasing the number of concurrent threads allows for parallel scanning, which is essential for effectively covering large networks in a timely manner.
