Question

A security analyst reviewing as I am alert. Alert indicated a malicious file was identified as being present on a corporate desktop, but was prevented from running when a user tried to open it. Which of the following tools was most likely responsible for preventing the file from opening?

1. Nids

2. WAF

3. Dep

4. DLP

Answer 1

Answer :Dep

Which is known as data execution prevention

It is the correct answer for the situation because as when it detects the malicious activitiy it does not run the file that is the main theme of dep

Without using dep tool the malicious file will run.

That is the main reason

And Rest of the options are wrong because

Nids which is known as network intrusion detection system is for detecting the instructions

And waf is the build in tool for automatic installation and compilation of a software in computer.

Dlp which is known as data loss prevention which is used to prevent the data from

Misuse and unauthorised access

Those are the reasons.
