Gary wants to deploy a tool that will allow him to identify and effectively respond to ransomware that might target systems that his company owns. He knows that he is likely to need to identify threats based on behavior rather than just using signatures, and he wants to have a dashboard- style view of his data. What tool should Gary select to meet this need?

Answer Options

A

IPS

B

NAC

C

DLP

D

EDR

Correct Answer: D

Explanation

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools combine behavior-based detection capabilities with centralized dashboards and advanced response capabilities. Intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) can detect network threats but aren’t well suited to detecting behaviors on endpoint systems. NAC (network access control) is used to limit who can connect to a network. Data loss prevention (DLP) systems monitor for data exfiltration as well as data that is sent both inadvertently and on purpose outside the organization that shouldn’t be.
