Which SecurityCenter role is responsible for setting up scan zones?

The Administrator role is primarily responsible for setting up scan zones within the SecurityCenter environment. This role is essential for the configuration and overall management of the system’s capabilities. Administrators have the necessary privileges to define and modify various aspects of the SecurityCenter, including creating specific scan zones that align with organizational security policies and objectives.

Scan zones are critical for segmenting the network into logical areas that can be monitored and scanned effectively. This tailored approach to scanning helps in focusing resources on areas that may have differing security needs or risks. By assigning this responsibility to the Administrator, it ensures that only qualified personnel can perform this task, thereby enhancing the security posture of the organization by ensuring that scan configurations adhere to best practices and are properly managed.

Other roles, while they may have important functions within SecurityCenter, do not typically involve the high-level configurations associated with scan zones. For example, a Manager may oversee operations but doesn’t typically perform the technical setups, and a Security Manager might focus on policy and strategy rather than hands-on configuration tasks. End Users generally have the least amount of access and are not involved in system configuration tasks like setting up scan zones.
