Question 720
The outgoing archive was encrypted and analysts assume no sensitive data could have left. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Encryption does not make an unauthorized transfer harmless. Evaluate encrypted exfiltration artifact.
Incorrect Answers
Active suspicious bulk transfer needs prompt containment and scope collection. That is relevant to network exfiltration response, not to evaluate encrypted exfiltration artifact.
Denial telemetry cannot establish successful exfiltration. It would distinguish blocked transfer attempt from success, but it would not evaluate encrypted exfiltration artifact.
Network containment alone does not eliminate stolen application credentials. It could help eradicate credential source of exfiltration, but it would not evaluate encrypted exfiltration artifact.
