A user forwarded a suspicious email to the security team. Upon investigation, a malicious URL was discovered. Which of the following should be done FIRST to prevent other users from accessing the malicious URL?
A.
Configure the web content filter for the web address.
B.
Report the website to threat intelligence partners.
C.
Set the SIEM to alert for any activity to the web address.
D.
Send out a corporate communication to warn all users of the malicious email.
To prevent other users from accessing the malicious URL after it has been discovered, the FIRST action that should be taken is:
A. Configure the web content filter for the web address.
By configuring the web content filter to block or restrict access to the specific URL, organizations can proactively prevent users from accessing the malicious website. Web content filters can be implemented at various points within the network infrastructure, such as firewalls, proxy servers, or dedicated web filtering solutions. By adding the malicious URL to the blocklist or creating a rule to deny access to the URL, organizations can effectively prevent users from reaching the malicious website and potentially exposing themselves to further risks.
The FIRST step to prevent other users from accessing the malicious URL would be to configure the web content filter to block access to the web address. By adding the URL to the web content filter's blacklist or blocking rules, the system can prevent users from accessing the malicious website and potentially falling victim to any associated threats.
Answer: Configure the web content filter for the web address.
Web content filtering is the practice of blocking access to web content that may be deemed offensive, inappropriate, or even dangerous. Better to just block out the URL since we already know its malicious now and notify later since you don't know how many other people received the email.
