Can a VM running on a VA utilize application control?

Can a VM running on a VA utilize application control?

• A. Yes, if it is imported into Deep Security Manager
• B. No, VMs cannot access application control
• C. Yes, if it runs through the Deep Security Agent
• D. Only if it is a physical machine

Answer: (C)

Application control is a feature that is designed to manage and monitor the applications running on a virtual machine (VM) using the Deep Security Agent. For a VM to utilize application control, it must have the Deep Security Agent installed and running. The agent is responsible for enforcing security policies, including application control, and it communicates with the Deep Security Manager to receive updates and policy changes. When the Deep Security Agent is deployed on a VM, it can effectively monitor and control the applications operating on that VM. This capability allows for greater security by ensuring only approved applications can run and by blocking unauthorized software. The other choices are not applicable in the context of utilizing application control. While it may be possible for a VM to be imported into Deep Security Manager or for certain features to be available on physical machines, these actions alone do not enable application control without the Deep Security Agent actively managing the VM. Thus, the requirement for an active agent ensures that the VM can take full advantage of application control features.
