Which of the following features is intended to enhance security against lateral movement?

C. Deception Techniques is designed specifically to enhance security against lateral movement within a network. This approach involves creating decoy systems, services, or data that appear legitimate to potential attackers. When these decoys are accessed, alerts can be triggered, allowing security teams to detect and respond to unauthorized activities before they can cause significant damage. It effectively distracts and misleads attackers, thereby slowing down or stopping their attempts to navigate laterally across the network.

In contrast, while Data Loss Prevention focuses on preventing data breaches and protecting sensitive information, and Application Access Control regulates user access to applications, neither directly addresses the movement of threats within the network. Cloud Network Infrastructure provides a foundational layer for networking capabilities but does not specifically target the issue of lateral movement. Therefore, Deception Techniques stand out as the feature explicitly aimed at detecting and mitigating threats attempting to move within the network.
