A state-funded competitor is focusing on gathering confidential information from a pharmaceutical research center. Unusual outbound connections suggest that the competitor might be taking advantage of newly developed findings. Which action limits this covert activity while preserving global relationships?
Increase network logs and implement division of key systems to track unusual transmissions and constrain data routes.
Prevent employees from using internal secure data transport so malicious traffic is easier to spot.
Terminate all external links related to international research collaborators to stop external infiltration attempts.
Periodically check international partner addresses without adding any new network segregation measures.
Increasing the level of network logs and applying segmentation constraints prevents unauthorized flows and better highlights any malicious patterns. Extended logging captures unusual traffic, while segmentation restricts channels for data extraction. Blocking all foreign connections hinders necessary business interactions. Disabling secure channels compromises data integrity. Verifying partner addresses alone is not enough without further security controls.
