A water-utility SCADA vendor appliance is fragile; scanning policy and RoE require it to be excluded. What is the professional handling?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the RoE says keep hands off the brittle plant gear, keep hands off. Write down what you could not test so the utility owns that leftover risk with eyes open.
Full Explanation
Fragile OT/SCADA assets are often excluded because intrusive scans can cause outages. Professionals honor exclusions, choose non-disruptive alternatives only if allowed, and explicitly document residual risk for untested systems. Hiding gaps or forcing scans against policy is unsafe and unprofessional.
