Correct answer: EDR.
Why this is the answer
An EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solution is designed to continuously monitor and respond to threats on endpoints like computers. It detects malicious activity, including viruses, malware, and Trojans, and can prevent their installation and lateral movement by isolating compromised systems or terminating malicious processes. IDS (Intrusion Detection System) primarily monitors network traffic for suspicious activity but doesn't actively prevent threats on endpoints. ACLs (Access Control Lists) define permissions for network resources but don't inherently detect or prevent malware. NAC (Network Access Control) enforces policies for devices connecting to the network but isn't primarily focused on endpoint malware detection and response once a device is connected.
