Your organization wants to shorten the time it takes to discover and fix security weaknesses across hundreds of servers while ensuring every system is treated the same way. According to vulnerability-management best practices, what is the primary benefit of introducing automated workflows into this process?
To increase efficiency and consistency in vulnerability detection and response.
To ensure manual processes remain the primary method for vulnerability detection.
To completely eliminate user error in vulnerability management.
To eliminate the necessity of establishing secure baselines for systems.
Automating vulnerability management replaces ad hoc, manual scanning and patching with repeatable workflows that run on a set schedule or in near real time. Software performs the high-volume discovery, prioritization, and remediation steps uniformly, so coverage is consistent and the mean time to detect and fix flaws drops dramatically. Although automation also helps enforce baselines and reduce user mistakes, its chief value is the efficiency and uniformity it brings to identifying and closing vulnerabilities.
