Broadcom Exam 250-580 Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

To temporarily or permanently block a file, the administrator should use the Deny List option. Adding a file to the Deny List prevents it from executing or being accessed on the system, providing a straightforward way to block suspicious or unwanted files.

Functionality of Deny List:

Files on the Deny List are effectively blocked from running, which can be applied either temporarily or permanently depending on security requirements.

This list allows administrators to manage potentially malicious files by preventing them from executing across endpoints.

Why Other Options Are Not Suitable:

Delete (Option A) is a one-time action and does not prevent future attempts to reintroduce the file.

Hide (Option B) conceals files but does not restrict access.

Encrypt (Option C) secures the file's data but does not prevent access or execution.
