Question 890
At the Riverbrook global consulting firm, a security team runs an effective suspicious DNS query search only when an analyst remembers to execute it. What risk should the team identify as the primary issue?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The situation shows that manual-only detection leaves gaps between discretionary analyst searches, rather than merely a monitoring or presentation issue. Remediation is to schedule the validated Splunk detection search with alert routing and ownership.
Incorrect Answers
Unstructured manual browsing does not scale to time-bounded security investigations. That may occur elsewhere, but the evidence at the Riverbrook global consulting firm instead points to the fact that manual-only detection leaves gaps between discretionary analyst searches.
The offered alternative is: Encryption protects transport but does not prove data transfer is authorized. It addresses this separate failure mode: Encryption protects transport but does not prove data transfer is authorized. In the current case, the observed mechanism is: Manual-only detection leaves gaps between discretionary analyst searches. The keyed action, Manual-only detection leaves gaps between discretionary analyst searches., targets that condition more directly.
Knowledge of a password does not establish sufficient trust for consequential transactions. That is not the mechanism that accounts for the stated failure at the Riverbrook global consulting firm.
