Selected Answer: A

Correct By integrating an IT service delivery ticketing system, you establish a structured and organized process to track the remediation progress of each vulnerability. This approach enables you to efficiently manage the patching process, assign responsibilities, set deadlines, monitor progress, and ensure that all vulnerabilities are addressed within the specified SLA. It provides visibility into the status of each vulnerability and facilitates communication among teams responsible for the patching process.
