Question

During a routine review of DNS logs, a security analyst observes that Host X has been making frequent DNS requests to domains with random alphanumeric strings (e.g.. atd8ekthj.xyz). IPS anomaly rules are blocking these domains. This behavior started shortly after a new software Installation on the host. Which of the following should the analyst do first to determine whether Host X has been compromised?

Options

  • AAllow the domains because the DNS requests are part of a misconfigured software update.
  • BCheck the software installation logs for errors and reinstall the software.
  • CBlock all outbound connections from the host to prevent further DNS queries.
  • DUse threat intelligence to check if the queried domains are associated with legitimate sites.
