CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 Practice Question

During network monitoring, an analyst observes periodic, predictable network traffic from a specific internal device to an external server. Which action should the analyst prioritize to identify if this is an indicator of beaconing?

  • Check if the traffic is using non-standard ports.

  • Validate the reputation of the external server.

  • Ignore the traffic since it is periodic and predictable.

  • Analyze the packet contents to check for signs of malicious communication.
