What is the primary function of the SandBlast Agent?

The SandBlast Agent's primary function is to provide advanced threat prevention capabilities, which includes preventing malware from spreading within a user's system. It utilizes various techniques such as threat emulation and behavioral analysis to detect and block potential threats before they can cause damage. By doing so, it enhances the overall security posture of the endpoint by actively mitigating the risk posed by malware.

Preventing malware spread is critical for maintaining the integrity of user systems and protecting organizational data. The agent continuously monitors for malicious activity and takes proactive measures to handle threats, ensuring that systems remain secure.

In comparison, the other options focus on different aspects of security that don't encapsulate the primary role of the SandBlast Agent. For instance, while OS-Level sandboxing (the first choice) is a feature related to threat analysis, it is not the sole function performed by the SandBlast Agent itself. The second choice centers on ensuring service operation, which, although important, is not the core purpose of the SandBlast Agent. Finally, cleaning up email with malicious attachments is a specific action that may be part of an endpoint's broader security strategy but does not define the agent's primary functionality.
