Which alert reports each exploit attempt detected?

• A. Malware Detection Alerts
• B. PUP Detection Alerts
• C. Exploit Detection Alerts
• D. Reclassified Files Alerts

Answer: (C)

In endpoint security, alerts are organized by the type of threat detected. An exploit attempt is a specific kind of activity aimed at abusing a vulnerability to gain control or execution, so it is reported under Exploit Detection Alerts. This category is dedicated to capturing and notifying you about every exploit attempt the system detects, allowing you to monitor and respond to targeted attack techniques.

Malware Detection Alerts are for malicious software payloads, not the attempts themselves. PUP Detection Alerts flag potentially unwanted programs, which are software that may be undesirable but not necessarily exploit activity. Reclassified Files Alerts occur when the risk level or classification of existing files changes after further analysis, not for exploit attempts.

So Exploit Detection Alerts is the correct choice because it precisely targets exploit attempts.
