Question 7

An attacker tries to load dynamic libraries on macOS from an unsecure location. Which Cortex XDR module can prevent this attack?

    Correct Answer: D

    The Cortex XDR module that can prevent an attacker from loading dynamic libraries on macOS from an insecure location is 'Dylib Hijacking.' This specific module is designed to counteract dylib-hijacking attacks, where an attacker tries to exploit dynamic library loading mechanisms by injecting malicious libraries from insecure locations to gain control over a process. The name directly indicates its purpose related to dynamic libraries, making it the correct choice.
