Explanation

With a Cortex XDR Pro per Endpoint license and Enhanced Endpoint Data enabled, the 'Remediation Suggestions' feature becomes available. This Cortex XDR native capability automatically analyzes detected malicious activity and proposes - or can automatically execute - remediation actions such as deleting malicious files, quarantining processes, or removing registry keys. For a Linux endpoint, this is the correct in-console approach. Option A (manual remediation) implies physical or out-of-band access. Option B (X2go) and Option D (NFS) are not Cortex XDR features - they are general remote access protocols not integrated into the Cortex XDR console.
