CompTIA Security+ Simulation 11

A security administrator discovers that an attack has been completed against a node on the corporate network. All available logs were collected and stored.

You must review all network logs to discover the scope of the attack, check the box of the node(s) that have been compromised and drag and drop the appropriate actions to complete the incident response on the network. The environment is a critical production environment; perform the LEAST disruptive actions on the network, while still performing the appropriate incident responses.

Instructions: The web server, database server, IDS, and User PC are clickable. Check the box of the node(s) that have been compromised and drag and drop the appropriate actions to complete the incident response on the network. Not all actions may be used, and order is not important. If at anytime you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please select the Reset button. When you have completed the simulation, please select the Done button to submit. Once the simulation is submitted, please select the Next button to continue.

Correct Answer:

Database server was attacked; actions should be to capture network traffic and Chain of Custody.

Explanation:
(The database server logs shows the Audit Failure and Audit Success attempts)It is only logical that all the logs will be stored on the database server and the least disruption action on the network to take as a response to the incident would be to check the logs (since these are already collected and stored) and maintain a chain of custody of those logs.
