Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 123

Which benefit does endpoint security provide the overall security posture of an organization?

Answer options

• A. It streamlines the incident response process to automatically perform digital forensics on the endpoint.
• B. It allows the organization to mitigate web-based attacks as long as the user is active in the domain.
• C. It allows the organization to detect and respond to threats at the edge of the network.
• D. It allows the organization to detect and mitigate threats that the perimeter security devices do not detect.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because endpoint security specifically targets threats that bypass perimeter defenses, ensuring a more comprehensive security approach. Options A, B, and C focus on incident response and web-based attacks, which do not directly address the unique capability of endpoint security to detect threats that perimeter security might miss.
