An information security officer reviews a report and notices a steady increase in outbound network traffic over the past ten months There is no clear explanation for the increase The security officer interviews several business units and discovers an unsanctioned cloud storage provider was used to share marketing materials with potential customers Which of the following services would be BEST for the security officer to recommend to the company?

NIDS
HIPS
CASB
SFTP

Expert Solution

Answer)
Here the situation is that the information security officer notices an increase in the outbound network traffic due to probable unsanctioned cloud storage provider which was used for sharing the marketing materials with potential customers, thus here the best option for the security officer would be:
CASB

SFTP is a file transfer protocol, thus is not specific to security, NIDS and HIPS are intrusion prevention system but here the steady increase in outbound network traffic is there thus these are not the recommended option. The cloud access security broker CASB is the solution that is needed here which will sit between the cloud service users and cloud applications and will thus be used to monitor the activity and also enforce the security policies.
