Question
A company's network has experienced increased infiltration due to
employees accessing dangerous websites from different content
categories. The company has decided to enhance its security by
implementing reputation-based filtering and content categorization in
its web filtering system. Which of the following BEST compares these
features?

C. Reputation-based filtering evaluates sites by past behavior;
content categorization sorts by themes like adult content.
Reputation-based filtering assesses websites based on their
historical behavior and reputation, while content categorization
categorizes websites into thematic categories such as adult content,

focus and purpose of each of these features.
A digital forensics analyst at a healthcare company is investigating
a case involving a potential internal data breach. The breach has led
to unauthorized access and potential exposure of sensitive patient
information. The company uses a Security Information and Event
Management (SIEM) tool that aggregates and correlates data from
multiple sources. The analyst's task is to identify potential insider
threats that could be responsible for the breach. Given the nature of
the breach, which combinati
D.(Correct)Investigate log files generated by the OS components of
client and server host computers, logs generated by applications,
services running on hosts, and endpoint logs.
A hacker successfully bypasses several protections and exfiltrates
sensitive data. The company immediately begins recovery and takes
steps to discover the initial problem that allowed the infiltration.
This type of investigation is commonly referred to as what?
