Your organization requires a solution to monitor the health and security status of its endpoints. What kind of solution would you deploy to ensure centralized management and real-time alerting for potential security issues?
Regularly schedule manual security audits of all endpoints to check for software updates and configuration issues.
Use a centralized log management platform to passively analyze system logs.
Deploy an agent-based monitoring tool on all endpoints that reports back to a central management console.
Set up a network analyzer to capture and inspect all traffic in and out of the network.
An agent-based monitoring tool would be appropriate for this task because it can be installed on each endpoint to monitor its health and security status in real-time. These agents regularly communicate with a central management console to report on the status of the endpoint and alert security personnel if an anomaly is detected. Other answers involve manual processes, provide incomplete solutions, or are less efficient for real-time monitoring in a large enterprise environment.
