Selected Answer: D
The primary advantage of an automated security log monitoring tool over a manual review lies in its ability to enhance detection of suspicious activity. Unlike manual reviews, which struggle with scale and speed, automated tools provide real-time analysis and anomaly detection, critical for monitoring privileged access. The CISA Official Review Manual 28th Edition supports this in Section 5.13, stating that security monitoring tools enable "real-time analysis and alerting for security incidents" (p. 532), and in Section 1.8, noting their role in "detecting patterns and anomalies" (p. 66).
