  1. A.Allow the activity automatically because authentication succeeded
  2. B.Combine least-privilege review, data-loss controls, and a governed investigation

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • Combine least-privilege review, data-loss controls, and a governed investigation

Combine least-privilege review, data-loss controls, and a governed investigation: Legitimate credentials do not make every data-handling action permitted or safe. Allow the activity automatically because authentication succeeded: Authentication establishes identity, not approval for every data action. Investigate only the external firewall configuration: Perimeter configuration alone misses activity using permitted internal access. Treat backup availability as prevention of disclosure: Recoverability does not prevent exfiltration or its confidentiality consequences.
