What action does Application Control take if software is not recognized and exceeds resource limits?

Application Control in Trend Micro Deep Security is designed to manage the applications running on a system and ensure that they operate within defined parameters. When unrecognized software exceeds certain resource limits, the feature's operational integrity demands a response. Stopping the detection and display of software changes serves to prevent potential performance issues that could arise from continuously monitoring excessive or resource-heavy applications. This approach allows the system to maintain stability and ensure that critical system resources are not bogged down by the overhead of excessive monitoring, which could lead to degraded performance or even outages.

The other options suggest actions that may not align with the primary goal of maintaining system performance and resource utilization. For instance, alerting system administrators or logging changes continuously could clutter the system's operation without addressing the underlying issue of resource management. Resetting to factory settings would not typically be a practical or effective response to software that exceeds resource limits, as it would erase all configurations and installed applications without a targeted approach to resolving the specific issue at hand.
