Correct answer: "Scout Suite is used to show potential security risks on cloud deployments."
Brief explanation: Scout Suite is an open‑source cloud security auditing tool that scans a cloud account (including Azure) for insecure configurations, weak access controls, exposed services, missing logging/encryption, overly permissive IAM roles, and other misconfigurations that could lead to compromise. It produces a report of findings and recommended remediations.
Why the other choices are wrong:
- It does not scan for viruses.
- It’s not primarily a cost/efficiency optimization tool.
- It’s not specifically a software version vulnerability scanner (though it may flag insecure settings that imply risk).
