Attack surface reductionfocuses on minimizingunnecessary services, open ports, and vulnerabilities, reducing the exposure to potential adversaries. This aligns withzero trust and least privilege principles.
Secure Boot (A)helps ensure system integrity but does not minimize exposed services.
Disabling third-party integrations (C)may help, but broader attack surface reduction is the best first step.
Limiting access (D)is important but does not directly reduce exposed services.
