What type of account should she provide to the scanner? A. Domain Administrator B. Local Administrator C.Root Account D. Read Only Account Correct Answer: D Credentialed scans only require read-only access to target servers.Using a local administrator account would have similar issues but the problems caused by the scanner would be limited to the local system. The root account is just another name for the local administrator account. Renee should follow the principle of least privilege and limit the access available to the scanner by using a read-only account. Using a domain administrator account would provide far more privileges than necessary, allowing the scanner to potentially disrupt almost any device on the network.   Interested in more practice test questions?   Get a copy of my official CertMike Practice Test books for the Security+ exam, CISSP exam, SSCP exam, or CySA+ exam and practice with hundreds of questions designed just like the real test! ...
