A SOC analyst observes reconnaissance activity from an IP address. The activity follows a pattern of short bursts toward a low number of targets. An open-source review shows that the IP has a bad reputation. The perimeter firewall logs indicate the inbound traffic was allowed. The destination hosts are high-value assets with EDR agents installed. Which of the following is the best action for the SOC to take to protect against any further activity from the source IP?

A.

Add the IP address to the EDR deny list.

Answers
A.

Add the IP address to the EDR deny list.

B.

Create a SIEM signature to trigger on any activity from the source IP subnet detected by the web proxy or firewalls for immediate notification.

Answers
B.

Create a SIEM signature to trigger on any activity from the source IP subnet detected by the web proxy or firewalls for immediate notification.

C.

Implement a prevention policy for the IP on the WAF.

Answers
C.

Implement a prevention policy for the IP on the WAF.

D.

Activate the scan signatures for the IP on the NGFWs.

Answers
D.

Activate the scan signatures for the IP on the NGFWs.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Blocking the IP address at the EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) level provides an immediate, targeted response to the detected reconnaissance activity, preventing further interaction with the high-value assets. EDR tools are designed to detect and block malicious IPs across endpoints. According to CompTIA CySA+, this proactive step is effective for isolating and mitigating threats on specific endpoints. While creating SIEM signatures (B) is useful for monitoring, and policies on WAF (C) and NGFWs (D) can provide additional layers of defense, the most immediate protective action is to block at the endpoint level.
