QuestionQ45

Security Operations

An organization purchased a new manufacturing facility and the security administrator needs to:

• Implement security monitoring.

• Protect any non-traditional device(s)/network(s).

• Ensure no downtime for critical systems.

Which of the following strategies best meets these requirements?

Explanation

Continuously observing the environment and proactively addressing anomalies enables passive, non-intrusive monitoring of non-traditional OT/ICS devices that cannot tolerate active scanning or agents, while still surfacing threats before they impact critical systems, satisfying all three stated goals without introducing downtime risk. Honeypots add exposure rather than protecting existing devices, purely reactive behavior analysis waits until an increase in activity has already occurred, and patch cadence alone does not provide the requested monitoring capability.
