Unapproved outbound file-transfer traffic is denied and correlated with source activity. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An internal server opens unexpected outbound SSH/SCP sessions to unknown Internet destinations overnight, usually addressed by Apply egress controls and investigate host and flow telemetry for unauthorized transfer. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A protected data sample is stopped across relevant channels rather than just FTP.

The restricted file transfer is blocked or reviewed while permitted SaaS traffic continues. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An employee uploads a confidential file to personal cloud storage using an otherwise permitted HTTPS session, usually addressed by Use appropriate DLP and sanctioned-application policy with inspection consistent with privacy rules. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A protected data sample is stopped across relevant channels rather than just FTP.

The covert-transfer test creates an alert and cannot move meaningful protected data. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A malicious process attempts to leak data through ICMP payloads rather than common web ports, usually addressed by Monitor unusual ICMP volume and payload patterns and limit unneeded egress traffic. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Vantage Travel was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A protected data sample is stopped across relevant channels rather than just FTP.

Use behavioral baselines or appropriately validated AI/ML analytics alongside deterministic detection. That action fits another problem: Network flow analysis misses low-and-slow lateral movement because all decisions rely on static signatures. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Northbridge University: Two SOC tools raise unrelated incidents for the same host because network and endpoint events lack common identity. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Correlate endpoint, identity, and network telemetry through XDR or SIEM entity mapping.

Use risk-weighted XDR/SIEM detections and approval or bounded response playbooks. That action fits another problem: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control.
