Enabling encryption sounds useful, but I don't think it addresses the immediate threat Gabby is facing right now.

Running anti-virus software seems like a good idea, but I feel like it might be too late if the attacker already has control.

I think we practiced a similar question where disconnecting from the network was emphasized as a priority to stop data exfiltration.

Running antivirus is a good idea, but I'd want to make sure I'm not just masking the problem. Unplugging the network seems like the most prudent move.

I'm a bit unsure here. Enabling encryption could help protect the data, but might not address the root issue.

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. Creating an app permission policy and assigning it to the users should do the trick. That should effectively block the private chat feature for those temporary employees.

I'm a bit confused by all the different security controls mentioned in the question. I'll need to review my notes on the CIS Controls to make sure I understand which one encompasses all of those specific activities. Gotta be careful on this one.

From what I recall, the "Security Over Connectivity" policy sounds like it would block a lot of traffic, which isn't what they want right now. Maybe "Balanced Security and Connectivity" is safer?

I'm a bit confused by the different security domains and requirements for traffic segmentation. I'll need to carefully review the details to determine the best Aviatrix solution.

Option D) Unplug the network cable? That's like putting a bandage on a gunshot wound. But hey, at least you'll have a nice coaster for your coffee mug.
