In the context of risk identification, what specific advantage do "Automated Vulnerability Scanners" provide over manual IT audits?

Correct answer: C) They rapidly and continuously flag security weaknesses (like missing patches) across vast networks before an attacker can exploit them.

Explanation

Automated scanners (like Nessus) can continuously and rapidly scan entire networks for vulnerabilities, allowing IT teams to remediate weaknesses much faster than traditional, periodic manual audits
