During a regular review of logs, Jennifer notices that a regularly scheduled script that copies files to another server every hour has run multiple times within the last hour. What indicator of compromise should she categorize this as?

Answer Options

A

Concurrent session use

B

Out-of-cycle logging

C

Missing logs

D

Impossible travel

Correct Answer: B

Explanation

Jennifer should note this as out-of-cycle logging. It could simply indicate a flaw in the script or another innocuous issue, or it could indicate an attacker exploring scripts to identify what information can be obtained. Concurrent session use occurs when a session is in use from multiple browsers or systems, missing logs are when logs are entirely missing or empty rather than occurring with more frequency than expected, and impossible travel occurs when events or logins occur from different locations by the same user who could not have traveled that distance in the time between the events.
