350-701 Practice Question: A security team is implementing endpoint…
A security team is implementing endpoint hardening measures. They want to ensure that only approved applications can run, monitor for suspicious behavior, and have the ability to isolate processes if needed. Which THREE Cisco AMP features should they enable? (Choose three.)
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.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Host-based IPS (Exploit Prevention)
Application whitelisting (via Cisco AMP's application control) restricts execution to approved apps; host-based IPS (Exploit Prevention) monitors behavior; and EDR capabilities (process isolation) allow containment. These three together harden endpoints.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Host-based IPS (Exploit Prevention)
Why this is correct
Exploit Prevention monitors for suspicious behavior like memory injection.
- ✓
Application whitelisting
Why this is correct
Application whitelisting ensures only approved applications are allowed to run.
- ✗
File quarantine
Why it's wrong here
File quarantine isolates malicious files but is not a hardening measure for process control.
- ✗
Retrospective security
