DLP is crucial, but I still think B is stronger.

I’m confused; I thought SAST and DAST were more for application security rather than perimeter defenses.

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and it was about using multiple tools for better security. Could it be D?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about EDR being important for endpoint protection.

I think the defense-in-depth approach is about layering security, so maybe B with NGFW and IPS makes sense?
