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

Anti-spyware is a specific subset of anti-malware, but anti-virus is a broader term that generally includes anti-spyware functionalities and protects against a wider range of threats beyond just spyware.

Anti-virus software, often encompassing broader anti-malware capabilities, is specifically designed to detect, prevent, and remove malicious software, including those like spyware that invade devices and collect user data. Modern anti-virus solutions offer comprehensive protection against a wide array of threats compromising system integrity and privacy.

Sandboxing isolates suspicious programs in a secure environment to prevent them from affecting the host system, rather than directly detecting and removing malicious software once it has invaded.

SD-WAN is a networking technology focused on optimizing wide-area network connections and has no direct function in protecting individual endpoints from malicious software.
