ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

A security administrator must protect 150 corporate Windows 10 laptops used by developers who frequently install new open-source tools. Policy requires that each newly downloaded executable be scanned immediately before its first run, that previously unseen (zero-day) malware be detected, and that the solution impose minimal administrative overhead for keeping malware definitions current. Which approach best meets these requirements?

  • Deploy a cloud-managed next-generation endpoint protection platform that performs on-access scanning with signature and behavior-based detection and retrieves updates automatically from the vendor's service.

  • Create a PowerShell logon script that downloads the latest antivirus signature (DAT) files each morning and schedules a full disk scan at midnight.

  • Install a network-based anti-malware proxy to inspect all VPN traffic from the laptops before it reaches internal resources.

  • Enable AppLocker to allow only Microsoft-signed binaries, blocking execution of all other downloaded files unless manually whitelisted by IT.
