Adaptive Protectionis designed to reduce the attack surface bymanaging suspicious behaviors performed by trusted applications. This feature provides dynamic, behavior-based protection that allows trusted applications to operate normally while monitoring and controlling any suspicious actions they might perform.
* Purpose of Adaptive Protection: It monitors and restricts potentially harmful behaviors in applications that are generally trusted, thus reducing the risk of misuse or exploitation.
* Attack Surface Reduction: By focusing on behavior rather than solely on known malicious files, Adaptive Protection effectively minimizes the risk of attacks that exploit legitimate applications.
Explanation of Why Other Options Are Less Likely:
* Option A (Malware Prevention Configuration)targets malware but does not specifically control trusted applications' behaviors.
* Option B (Host Integrity Configuration)focuses on policy compliance rather than behavioral monitoring.
* Option D (Network Integrity Configuration)deals with network-level threats, not application behaviors.
Therefore,Adaptive Protectionis the feature best suited toreduce the attack surface by managing suspicious behaviorsin trusted applications.
