Question 1 of 30
Benchmark analysis indicates a network security team has detected unusual outbound traffic patterns and has identified a suspicious executable file on a critical server. Initial analysis suggests the executable could be ransomware, but there\'s also a possibility of other types of malware being present. Given limited immediate resources, which of the following actions represents the most effective and professionally sound initial response?
Immediately isolate the critical server to contain the suspected ransomware, and simultaneously initiate a network-wide scan for other known malware signatures.
Dedicate all available resources to eradicating all identified malware across the network, without prioritizing the suspected ransomware.
Focus exclusively on eradicating the suspected ransomware from the critical server, assuming it is the sole threat.
Initiate a full system wipe and rebuild of the critical server and all other potentially affected systems without further investigation.
