Question 970
An operations review at a university network has corrected: A Command Center view shows a surge in risky traffic after an acquisition and the analyst assumes the former company's firewall was compromised. Which observation specifically confirms success?
Explanation
Correct Answer
A normalized comparison distinguishes added managed traffic from true per-site risk growth. This evidence directly tests the intended corrective action: Correlate the onboarding date, new device coverage and comparable baseline before escalating a breach claim. It confirms the failure mechanism—Telemetry population changes can distort aggregate posture metrics.—has been addressed in the actual affected flow.
Incorrect Answers
The responsible users/applications and matching policy are identified for targeted investigation. This would verify resolution of a different case: A branch's Activity Insights show repeated traffic to suspicious hosting sites, but the SOC reviews only destination port counts. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Correlate the onboarding date, new device coverage and comparable baseline before escalating a breach claim.—worked.
Each batch has verified application outcomes and restored controls if a legitimate flow was impacted. This would verify resolution of a different case: A company uses Policy Optimizer findings to disable 50 rules at once without a rollback plan, disrupting regional month-end processing. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Correlate the onboarding date, new device coverage and comparable baseline before escalating a breach claim.—worked.
Approved apps continue functioning while previously unneeded applications fail negative tests. This would verify resolution of a different case: A broad any-application allow has observed only three sanctioned App-IDs for several weeks, but operations continues allowing all applications. It does not show that the reported issue was fixed or that its intended action—Correlate the onboarding date, new device coverage and comparable baseline before escalating a breach claim.—worked.
