CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 Practice Question

A company has noticed a sudden spike in network traffic which upon closer inspection has been identified as a result of large data transfers to unauthorized external servers. The employee involved claims innocence, stating they were unaware the action was unauthorized. What is the most likely cause of this unintentional data leak?

  • An external hacker leveraging a zero-day vulnerability to exploit the network.

  • A compromised device within the network that the employee unknowingly used for the data transfer.

  • An employee failing to follow established data handling policies due to insufficient security awareness training.

  • The employee using outdated software that automatically connected to an unauthorized server.
