Which technology helps Security Operations Center (SOC) teams identify heap spray attacks on company-owned laptops?

The correct answer is C. EDR. Heap spray attacks exploit memory management vulnerabilities by injecting malicious code into a program's heap to manipulate execution flow.

Explanation

Heap spray attacks exploit memory management vulnerabilities by injecting malicious code into a program's heap to manipulate execution flow. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platforms monitor memory and process behavior on endpoints, enabling the detection of such memory- based exploits through anomaly and behavior analysis. Palo Alto Networks' Cortex XDR equips SOC teams with the tools to detect, analyze, and respond to heap spray and other in-memory attacks on company laptops in real time. EDR's endpoint-centric visibility is crucial since heap spray attacks operate below network layers and often bypass traditional perimeter defenses.
