Explanation

Scout Suite is an open-source, multi-cloud security auditing tool purpose-built to assess the security posture of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.). It reviews cloud-specific configurations such as IAM policies, storage bucket permissions, network security groups, logging settings, and encryption. OpenVAS (A) and Nessus (E) are general vulnerability scanners focused on hosts/services, not cloud configuration. Nmap (C) is a network scanner. ZAP (D) is a web application proxy. None of these alternatives are designed to audit cloud-provider control planes the way Scout Suite is.
