Question 740
At the Stonehaven insurance organization, an analyst closes a malware case because an event says detected even though the process continued running. How should the organization sustain the improvement?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The team should audit event closure criteria for detection versus prevention. That recurring practice targets the same weakness, namely that detection does not necessarily mean execution was prevented or the file removed.
Incorrect Answers
Include trajectory evidence in malware incident closure. That safeguard would help prevent recurrence of: A single detection name omits the delivery chain and spread context. The risk being reviewed here is instead: Detection does not necessarily mean execution was prevented or the file removed. The matching ongoing control is: Audit event closure criteria for detection versus prevention.
That routine supports secure endpoint quarantine permission, but the relevant ongoing risk requires the team to audit event closure criteria for detection versus prevention. For the Stonehaven insurance organization, the direct corrective action is to interpret Secure Endpoint event disposition and response action before declaring containment.
Review SOC reports for accurate protection and detection terminology. That safeguard would help prevent recurrence of: Detection and alerting can occur after malicious code has already run. The risk being reviewed here is instead: Detection does not necessarily mean execution was prevented or the file removed. The matching ongoing control is: Audit event closure criteria for detection versus prevention.
