What happens if the Agent Monitor detects a halted process on the VEN?

When the Agent Monitor detects a halted process on the Virtual Enforcement Node (VEN), it takes immediate action to ensure the continuity of security functions. This means that the Agent Monitor will attempt to restart the halted process, provided it is necessary for the operation. This proactive measure helps to maintain the enforcement of security policies and ensures that the system continues to function as expected.

The focus of this functionality is to enhance resilience and minimize disruption in the security monitoring and enforcement processes. A halted process can compromise security posture, so restarting it promptly is critical in maintaining operational integrity.

In this context, while other potential outcomes such as software updates, system resets, or user alerts are relevant in broader scenarios involving system maintenance or anomaly detection, they do not directly address the immediate reaction of the Agent Monitor concerning halted processes. The correct response highlights the automatic recovery process that specifically pertains to process management within the VEN.
