In Symantec EDR’s Behavioral Isolation policy, if theBehavioral Heat Mapindicates that a specific application and a particular behavior are never used together, setting the action toDenyfor that application behavior is a safe response. This prevents potential misuse by blocking the unusual behavior, which could indicate a security risk.

Rationale for Denying the Behavior:

If historical data shows that this behavior does not normally occur with the application, it suggests that any attempt to initiate it could be anomalous or malicious. Blocking this behavior helps prevent unexpected activities that could be exploited by threats.

Why Other Actions Are Less Appropriate:

Allow(Option B) would permit potentially risky behavior.

Delete(Option C) does not apply in this context, as it is not an action for behavior control.

Monitor(Option D) would only log the behavior but does not provide active protection, which is critical when the behavior is atypical.
