InsightVM Certified Administrator practice examsIn development
Rapid7 InsightVM Certified Administrator
Vulnerability management on InsightVM: console, engines, agents and platform with sites defining how assets are scanned and asset groups defining what they are, criticality tagging turning severity into priority, authenticated scanning as the difference between inference and enumeration, and agents covering what a scan window misses; then risk combining exploitability and age with asset value, remediation projects closing on scan evidence, exceptions with an expiry, solution-based reporting, and measuring time to remediate rather than open counts.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Architecture, discovery and assessment | Not published |
| Risk, remediation, reporting and the programme | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. What does an integration with a ticketing system provide?
- Patches deployed directly to the hosts as expected
- Findings arriving in the tool the fixers use — correct
- Scans triggered from the ticket queue
- Reports generated by the ticket system
Why: Work that never reaches the queue never gets scheduled.
2. Why prefer engine-initiated pairing?
- Fewer inbound rules — correct
- Noticeably faster scanning
- Larger exported reports
- Many more endpoint agents
Why: Engine-initiated connections avoid opening inbound ports to each engine.
