A company becomes concerned when the security alarms are triggered during a penetration test. Which of the following should the company do NEXT?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Deconflicting with the penetration tester is the best thing to do next after the security alarms are triggered during a penetration test, as it will help determine whether the alarm was caused by the tester's activity or by an actual threat. Deconflicting is the process of communicating and coordinating with other parties involved in a penetration testing engagement, such as security teams, network administrators, or emergency contacts, to avoid confusion or interference.

Assuming the alert is from the test? That's like assuming the smoke alarm is just the toaster acting up. Better double-check, just in case.

Contact the cops? This isn't a bank heist, it's a security check. I'd go with deconflicting to avoid any unnecessary drama.

Halt the test? Pfft, that's like hitting the brakes during a car chase. Let's see what the pen tester has to say first.

I agree with Lovetta, assuming the alert is from the penetration test makes sense.
