...where: A. Patch for cross-site scripting & C. Protect against input validation and character escapes in the endpoint = BOTH ARE SERVER SIDE MEASURES, NOT ENDPOINT ("server side" in this case means WHO IS RESPONSIBLE for code security, NOT WHERE the code is running - XSS will run in user's browser at client side but responsible for that is vulnerable server) If some well known TRUSTED server (for example your own company's web) is vulnerable to XSS or another attack based on poor input validation, protection from user's side is mostly NOT possible - because you TRUST that server, you (and your security tools - for example NoScript) allow to run scripts from the server, you contentedly insert sensitive information to the page from the server, etc... Endpoint protection is anti-spam, anti-virus, anti-malware - i. e. options D & E

A and C are correct assuming the following question that I asked Bard AI: Can Cisco ISE install patches on an endpoint like a pc after identifying that the pc lacks up-to-date patches? Yes, Cisco ISE can install patches on an endpoint like a PC after identifying that the PC lacks up-to-date patches. This is done using the Cisco Endpoint Security Agent (ESA), which is a software agent that is installed on the endpoint. The ESA communicates with Cisco ISE to determine which patches are needed and then downloads and installs them on the endpoint. https://bard.google.com/chat/24ec2765faf58266

D and E: Little cathedra: Okay many people put C " Protect against input validation and character escapes in the endpoint." well how you protect about that "E. Protect systems with an up-to-date antimalware program." So the answer is D and E
