Question 540
A team blocks every domain listed in a global threat intelligence feed without checking that the list contains shared cloud service endpoints. The change owner plans to: Evaluate actionable threat intelligence against local evidence and scope prevention rules precisely. Which precaution directly prevents a predictable failure of this approach?
Explanation
Correct Answer
The specific rollout control is Set review expiry and exception procedures for intelligence-derived blocking rules. It protects the proposed intervention 'Evaluate actionable threat intelligence against local evidence and scope prevention rules precisely.' against the failure mode that global indicators can have context and false positives that make unconditional blocking harmful. Success should also be checked through: A pilot blocks the confirmed malicious destination without disrupting approved shared cloud services.
Incorrect Answers
Scoring and security value are related but not identical for all enterprise risk contexts. The proposed change also needs protection against this risk: Global indicators can have context and false positives that make unconditional blocking harmful. The applicable safeguard is: Set review expiry and exception procedures for intelligence-derived blocking rules.
An increase in detections can represent improved visibility or attack volume rather than failed protection. The proposed change also needs protection against this risk: Global indicators can have context and false positives that make unconditional blocking harmful. The applicable safeguard is: Set review expiry and exception procedures for intelligence-derived blocking rules.
Secure Score reports posture improvement opportunities but is not an automatic remediation engine. The proposed change also needs protection against this risk: Global indicators can have context and false positives that make unconditional blocking harmful. The applicable safeguard is: Set review expiry and exception procedures for intelligence-derived blocking rules.
