Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 74

Which endpoint security solution protects against malicious software designed to invade a device and collect user data?

Answer options

• A. Anti-spyware
• B. Anti-virus
• C. Sandboxing
• D. Software-defined wide-area networks (SD-WAN)

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Anti-virus, as it is specifically designed to detect and remove malicious software, including those that may invade a device and collect user data. While Anti-spyware (A) focuses on spyware, it does not cover all types of malware. Sandboxing (C) is a technique for testing software in a controlled environment, and SD-WAN (D) is related to networking rather than endpoint security.
