350-201 Exam Dumps : Performing CyberOps Using Core Security Technologies (CBRCOR)

 In this scenario, the employee’s installation of remote access software at the behest of a fraudulent “MS Support” technician and the subsequent suspicious request for payment in gift cards are strong indicators of a social engineering attack. The presence of unencrypted database files on the system, coupled with the technician’s remote access, raises legitimate concerns about data disclosure. While HTTPS encrypts the data in transit, it does not prevent the remote user from copying files. Without concrete evidence, such as network logs showing data transfer, it is challenging to confirm the disclosure. However, given the circumstances, it is prudent to operate under the assumption that the database files could have been accessed and potentially copied during the remote session. The organization should follow its incident response protocol, which includes conducting a thorough investigation, changing passwords, and monitoring for potential data misuse.

Cisco’s CyberOps curriculum emphasizes the importance of understanding security procedures and incident handling, which would include responding to potential data disclosure incidents1.

 In the context of Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP), when a file is submitted to the Threat Grid analysis engine, it undergoes a thorough behavioral analysis to determine if it exhibits characteristics typical of malware. The Threat Grid provides detailed reports that include behavioral indicators of compromise (IoCs), which are actions or artifacts on a network or an endpoint that with high confidence indicate a breach.

In this case, the report generated by the Threat Grid for a low prevalence file shows high severity scores for the behavioral indicators. This suggests that the behaviors observed are strongly indicative of malicious activity, specifically ransomware. The high scores reflect the Threat Grid’s confidence in the malicious nature of the file based on its observed behaviors, which may include patterns of encryption consistent with ransomware, network activity that matches known ransomware command and control patterns, or file system changes that are characteristic of ransomware encryption.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, as the high scores on the behavioral indicators strongly suggest the presence of ransomware, justifying the execution of the ransomware detection mechanisms by Cisco AMP.
