QuestionQ389

Tools/Systems/Programs

During a corporate cyber-espionage investigation in Austin, Texas, forensic investigators examine how the company’s storage systems were accessed during exfiltration. They determine that attackers mapped a shared folder, available through the SMB protocol to multiple departments, while critical databases remained on a separate high-speed Fibre Channel storage fabric. Which storage model does the shared-folder system represent?

  • A JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks)
  • B RAID Storage System
  • C Storage Area Network (SAN)
  • D Network-Attached Storage (NAS)
Explanation

Network-Attached Storage (NAS) provides file-level shared storage over a network and is commonly accessed with SMB. A Fibre Channel fabric instead characterizes the separate SAN used for the databases.
