Question 520
A benign internal utility was quarantined by mistake after an overly broad file indicator. Which response best meets the security operations requirement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Recovery reverses a false positive without creating a broad security bypass. This directly addresses the requirement to reverse a mistaken endpoint file quarantine.
Incorrect Answers
Indicator control can prevent future execution or use of a known malicious artifact. This addresses block recurrence of a verified malicious hash; it does not directly satisfy reverse a mistaken endpoint file quarantine.
Unsigned status alone does not establish maliciousness across all programs. Its intended use is to avoid deleting unrelated unsigned software, whereas this case requires the analyst to reverse a mistaken endpoint file quarantine.
File-targeted remediation can remove a verified malicious artifact from eligible endpoints. That action focuses on remediate a known malicious executable rather than the specified need to reverse a mistaken endpoint file quarantine.
