Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 42

In which situation should an Endpoint Detection and Response solution be chosen versus an Endpoint Protection Platform?

Answer options

• A. when there is a need to have more advanced detection capabilities
• B. when there is no firewall on the network
• C. when there is a need for traditional anti-malware detection
• D. when there is no need to have the solution centrally managed

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions provide advanced detection capabilities that are essential for identifying sophisticated threats. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the primary advantage of EDR over traditional Endpoint Protection Platforms, which is focused on more advanced threat detection rather than basic protection or management concerns.
