Question 670
At the Whitford municipal government, an endpoint alert refers to an unknown hostname and SOC cannot identify its responsible department. Which explanation best accounts for the concern?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The situation shows that unowned assets delay incident escalation and policy remediation, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. Remediation is to maintain authoritative device-to-owner mappings linked to endpoint security telemetry.
Incorrect Answers
The offered principle is: Lost enrolled devices can retain access to sensitive business content if not centrally managed. In the source material it is associated with: Lost enrolled devices can retain access to sensitive business content if not centrally managed. This case has a different controlling cause: Unowned assets delay incident escalation and policy remediation. Its keyed mechanism is: Unowned assets delay incident escalation and policy remediation.
Although a reputation verdict can change after the file was allowed and executed, the presented symptoms do not support that as the primary cause; they indicate that unowned assets delay incident escalation and policy remediation. For the Whitford municipal government, the direct corrective action is to maintain authoritative device-to-owner mappings linked to endpoint security telemetry.
A quarantine that blocks all update infrastructure prevents devices becoming compliant. That may occur elsewhere, but the evidence at the Whitford municipal government instead points to the fact that unowned assets delay incident escalation and policy remediation.
