Why each option
The question asks for a solution specifically designed to protect an individual network endpoint from various attacks.
Antivirus software is a primary endpoint security solution designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software like viruses, malware, and ransomware from individual computers or servers, thereby protecting them from attack. It often includes real-time scanning and signature-based detection to safeguard the endpoint's integrity.
A wireless controller manages and centralizes the configuration and operation of multiple wireless access points, but it does not directly protect individual endpoints from attacks.
A router directs network traffic between different networks and provides basic firewall capabilities but is not designed for granular, host-based protection of a single endpoint against malware.
Cisco DNA Center is a network management and automation platform for entire networks, not a direct endpoint protection solution for an individual device.
