The correct answer is To map assets threats and vulnerabilities and prioritize mitigation actions.

An asset threat vulnerability matrix deliberately links system components with credible threats and known vulnerabilities so the security team can assess risk and set remediation priorities. It is a mapping and analysis tool that helps populate a risk register and supports decisions to remediate, mitigate, or accept identified risks based on asset criticality and likelihood of exploitation.

Cloud Security Command Center is a vendor security product that can surface findings and feed data into a matrix, but it is not the primary purpose of the matrix itself. The matrix is a method for linking assets, threats, and vulnerabilities rather than a specific product.

To restrict the number of assets discovered during inventory collection is incorrect because a matrix does not limit discovery. The matrix uses inventory data to map exposures and inform prioritization, and it assumes a comprehensive asset inventory rather than a restricted one.

OS patch automation is incorrect because patch automation is an operational control and remediation process. The matrix informs which assets and vulnerabilities should be prioritized for patching, but it is not the automation mechanism that applies patches.
