Which tool would a penetration tester use to automate the assessment of a system's compliance with security standards, providing a standardized approach for maintaining secure systems?
SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) is the correct answer because it is a suite of specifications for standardizing the format and nomenclature by which software communicates information about public vulnerabilities and security configurations. It enables automated vulnerability management, measurement, and policy compliance evaluation (e.g., FISMA compliance). The incorrect answers, while security-related tools, do not provide the standardized compliance assessment capabilities that SCAP is designed for.
