Which method is leveraged by system administrators in an operating system to prevent the execution of unauthorized software, regardless of whether it is malicious?
You selected this option
Restricting the allocation of system resources to the software
Application whitelisting allows only pre-approved applications to run on a system, effectively preventing the execution of any software, including potentially unwanted programs, that is not explicitly authorized. This proactive security measure ensures a higher degree of control over the applications that can be executed, significantly reducing the attack surface. Other options, such as permission elevation prompts and resource allocation, do not prevent the execution of unauthorized applications; instead, they manage how applications run and what permissions they have.
