  1. Automation replaces professionals in monitoring roles

Show the answer

Answer: C. Automation augments their work by taking over redundant tasks, freeing time for work needing human judgement

SP 800-137 states automation serves to augment the security processes conducted by professionals and may reduce the time spent on redundant tasks, increasing the time a trained professional can spend on tasks requiring human cognition.
