A security analyst observes that a user's account has logged in from two different countries within an hour. Which indicator of malicious activity does this scenario BEST represent?
Impossible travel
Concurrent session usage
Out-of-cycle logging
Resource consumption
Logging in from two geographically distant locations within a short time frame is indicative of impossible travel, suggesting that the user's credentials may have been compromised. This is a common indicator used to detect unauthorized access. Concurrent session usage involves a user being logged in from multiple locations or devices simultaneously, but not necessarily from implausible distances. Resource consumption refers to excessive use of system resources, which could indicate a denial-of-service attack. Out-of-cycle logging pertains to access attempts occurring outside of normal business hours or established patterns.
