ACAS STAN/EVAL NOTES/STUDY
Questions With Solutions
Where does ACAS come from? Tenable Network Security?
What specifically can ACAS through automated network scanning? Provides vulnerability
scanning, application vulnerability scanning, configuration assessment, device configuration
assessment, network discovery, compliance reporting, & compliance accountability/enforcement.
What are some of the Security Centers capabilities? Provides complete visibility into the
security posture of the IT infrastructure. Evaluates al vulnerability data across entire IT
infrastructure. Analyzes vulnerabilities, provides solutions to said vulnerabilities. Illustrates
vulnerability trends over time, and assesses risk. Actionable context for effective remediation in
prioritized order for assessed systems/devices/risks.
What are some of the ACAS capabilities? Active Vulnerability Scanning, Credentialed
Vulnerability Scanning, Reporting, & Enumeration.
What is a major ACAS limitation when vulnerabilities are found in the reports it generates?
ACAS cannot apply patches or alter configuration settings, only reports scan findings.

Questions With Solutions
What is a major ACAS limitation in regards to functionality and work stoppage? Too
many concurrent tasks can overload/lock databases and cease functions.
How does a decentralized scanner a limitation in ACAS? Requires base technicians to
troubleshoot and perform regular touch maintenance.
How could the scope of an vulnerability scan limit ACAS performance? Can only scan
internal base network.
What ACAS limitation can impact performance due to an interference of roles and
responsibilities? Number of accounts can impact performance.
Which of the following best describes the Security Center? Select the best answer. The
central console that provides continuous asset-based security and compliance monitoring.
What do ACAS/Security Center Organizations consist of? A set of distinct Users and
Groups that have resources available to them.
