Question 83

The CFO found a malware infected USB drive in the parking lot, which when inserted infected their corporate laptop. The malware contacted a known command- and-control server, which caused the infected laptop to begin exfiltrating corporate data.

Which security profile feature could have been used to prevent the communication with the command-and-control server?

    Correct Answer: A

    To prevent communication with a command-and-control server after a malware infection, an anti-spyware profile should be created and the DNS Sinkhole feature enabled. This security measure intercepts and blocks DNS queries to known malicious domains, which would stop the infected device from establishing contact with the command-and-control server.
