PCCET · Question #122

Which two advantages does endpoint protection technology have over network traffic analysis? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. ability to identify most common attacks by their symptoms C. easier to deploy endpoint protection when people work from home. Endpoint protection identifies attacks by their behavioral symptoms on the device and provides continuous security for remote workers, unlike network traffic analysis which often relies on network visibility.

Why each option

Endpoint protection identifies attacks by their behavioral symptoms on the device and provides continuous security for remote workers, unlike network traffic analysis which often relies on network visibility.

Aability to identify most common attacks by their symptomsCorrect

Endpoint protection monitors local system activities like process execution, file modifications, and API calls, allowing it to identify attack patterns and symptoms even if network traffic is encrypted.

Bdeployed and managed centrally

Both endpoint protection and network traffic analysis solutions can be centrally deployed and managed.

Ceasier to deploy endpoint protection when people work from homeCorrect

Endpoint protection agents reside directly on user devices, ensuring security coverage and enforcement regardless of the user's network location, making it ideal for remote work scenarios.

Ddetects command and control channels

Both endpoint protection and network traffic analysis technologies can detect command and control channels through various methods.

Ecan easily identify worms

Both endpoint protection and network traffic analysis can detect worms, albeit through different mechanisms (host-based vs. network-based behavioral patterns).
