Which protocol framework uses specifications such as OVAL and XCCDF to let diverse security tools exchange standardized data for automated vulnerability assessment and policy-compliance checks?
The Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) is a collection of open standards-including OVAL, XCCDF, CVE, and CVSS-that standardizes how security tools describe vulnerabilities and configuration issues. This common language lets scanners, configuration checkers, and management platforms share results and automate remediation workflows. SNMP focuses on device management, TLS secures communications, and NetFlow summarizes traffic flows; none of these provide standardized security assessment content.
