Question 1 of 30
In a network security environment, a security analyst is tasked with monitoring the health of a Cisco Firepower system. The analyst notices that the CPU utilization has consistently been above 85% over the past hour, while memory usage remains stable at around 60%. Additionally, the analyst observes that the number of active connections has increased significantly, reaching 10,000 concurrent sessions. Given these observations, what is the most appropriate action for the analyst to take in order to ensure optimal performance and security of the system?
Investigate the cause of high CPU utilization and consider optimizing or scaling resources.
Ignore the CPU utilization since memory usage is stable and focus on increasing the number of active connections.
Reboot the system to clear any potential memory leaks that may be affecting performance.
Increase the logging level to capture more detailed information about the active connections.
