Explanation

Threat intelligence feeds provide continuous, real-time information about new and evolving threats, including those emerging from new technologies (e.g., AI-powered attacks, new cloud vulnerabilities). They are specifically designed to track the threat landscape as it changes. Periodic risk assessments (B) and annual security threat assessments (D) are point-in-time activities too infrequent to track rapidly evolving threats. Benchmarking against peers (C) shows relative posture but doesn't surface emerging threats proactively.
