Which security technology allows only a set of pre-approved applications to run on a system?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Application-level whitelisting is a security technology that allows only a set of pre-approved applications to run on a system, and blocks any other unauthorized or malicious programs. This can prevent malware, ransomware, zero-day exploits, and other threats from compromising the system. Application-level whitelisting is also known as application control or application allowlisting.Reference:= Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) v1.0, Module 3: Host-Based Analysis, Lesson 3.2: Endpoint Security Technologies, Topic 3.2.3: Application Whitelisting, page 3-20.

I definitely recall that whitelisting is about allowing specific applications, but I can't remember if that's the correct term for this question.

I remember practicing a question about blacklisting vs. whitelisting, and I think whitelisting is the one that allows only approved apps.

I think it's application-level whitelisting, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s the only one that fits.
