Which protects processes from fileless malware attacks?

• A. Anti-Exploit Technology
• B. WatchGuard Data Control
• C. Zero-Day Attacks
• D. WatchGuard Advanced Reporting Tool

Answer: (A)

Preventing in-memory exploits that target active processes is what anti-exploit technology does. Fileless malware avoids writing files and instead operates inside legitimate processes, so protections must sit in the execution path to block the exploit before it can run any payload. Anti-exploit measures harden memory safety, prevent code injection, enforce robust control-flow, and monitor for suspicious within-process activity, stopping the attack at the moment exploitation is attempted.

Data Control focuses on preventing data loss or leakage, not on blocking process-level exploits. Zero-day attacks describe unknown vulnerabilities, not a protective capability, and the WatchGuard Advanced Reporting Tool provides visibility and reporting rather than active protection. Thus, anti-exploit technology is the feature that directly protects processes from fileless malware attacks.
