Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

File Reputation
Why it's wrong here
File Reputation checks files against a known database at the time of execution but does not provide retrospective analysis.

IOC Scanning
Why it's wrong here
IOC scanning checks for indicators of compromise but is not specifically for retrospective file analysis.
- ✗
Exploit Prevention
Why it's wrong here
Exploit Prevention protects against memory injection attacks, not retrospective file analysis.
