A malware outbreak revealed that a firewall was misconfigured, allowing external access to the SharePoint server. What should the security team do next?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The incident stems from a policy-level issue rather than a technical vulnerability. According to incident response best practices, the priority should be to review and update firewall rules and ensure that the network security policy aligns with the principle of least privilege and correct access segmentation.

Disabling external IP communications sounds drastic. I guess it could be a temporary measure, but it might not solve the underlying issue with the firewall configuration.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about hardening the server being important too. Maybe that should be done alongside the firewall review?
