[All CAS-004 Questions]

A company just released a new video card. Due to limited supply and nigh demand, attackers are employing automated systems to purchase the device through the company's web store so they can resell it on the secondary market. The company's Intended customers are frustrated. A security engineer suggests implementing a CAPTCHA system on the web store to help reduce the number of video cards purchased through automated systems. Which of the following now describes the level of risk?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The SIEM logs indicate suspicious behavior that could be a sign of a compromise, such as the launching of cmd.exe after Outlook.exe, which is atypical user behavior and could indicate that a machine has been compromised to perform lateral movement within the network. Isolating laptop314 from the network would contain the threat and prevent any potential spread to other systems while further investigation takes place.

The risk is now mitigated, but I'm sure the frustrated customers would prefer a more seamless purchasing experience. Maybe the company can look into AI-powered verification instead of those squiggly Captchas.

Residual risk, for sure. Captchas can be a pain, but at least it's something to slow down the bots. Hopefully, the company can find a more robust solution soon.

Captcha? More like 'CaptchaNOPE' am I right? Those things are a pain to solve, but I guess it's better than bots snatching up all the cards.

Hmm, the level of risk would be reduced, but not completely eliminated. Attackers might still find ways to bypass the CAPTCHA. I'd say the risk is now mitigated, but not entirely.
