Question 61
Finley, a security professional at an organization, was tasked with monitoring the organizational network behavior through the SIEM dashboard. While monitoring, Finley noticed suspicious activities in the network; thus, he captured and analyzed a single network packet to determine whether the signature included malicious patterns. Identify the attack signature analysis technique employed by Finley in this scenario.
Question 62
Johnson, an attacker, performed online research for the contact details of reputed cybersecurity firms. He found the contact number of sibertech.org and dialed the number, claiming himself to represent a technical support team from a vendor. He warned that a specific server is about to be compromised and requested sibertech.org to follow the provided instructions. Consequently, he prompted the victim to execute unusual commands and install malicious files, which were then used to collect and pass critical Information to Johnson's machine. What is the social engineering technique Steve employed in the above scenario?
Question 63
The SOC department in a multinational organization has collected logs of a security event as
"Windows.events.evtx". Study the Audit Failure logs in the event log file located in the Documents folder of the
-Attacker Maehine-1" and determine the IP address of the attacker. (Note: The event ID of Audit failure logs is
4625.)

Question 64
You are the Lead Cybersecurity Specialist at GlobalTech, a multinational tech conglomerate renowned for its avant-garde technological solutions in the aerospace and defense sector. The organization's reputation stands on the innovative technologies it pioneers, many of which are nation's top secrets.
Late on a Sunday night, you are alerted about suspicious activities on a server holding the schematics and project details for a groundbreaking missile defense system. The indicators suggest a complex, multi-stage cyberattack that managed to bypass traditional security measures. Preliminary investigations reveal that the cybercrlmlnals might have used an Insider's credentials, further complicating the breach. Given the extremely sensitive nature of the data involved, a leak could have severe national security implications and irreparably tarnish the company's reputation. Considering the potential gravity and intricacies of this security incident, what immediate action should you undertake to handle this situation effectively, safeguard crucial data, and minimize potential fallout?
