In a secure government communication network, an automated alert indicates the presence of anomalous DLL
files injected into the system memory during a routine update of communication protocols. These DLL files
are exhibiting beaconing behavior to a satellite IP known for signal interception risks. Concurrently, there is
an uptick in encrypted traffic volumes that suggests possible data exfiltration. Which set of actions should the
security engineer prioritize?
An incident responder reviews a log entry that shows a Microsoft Word process initiating an outbound
network connection followed by PowerShell execution with obfuscated commands. Considering the machine's
role in a sensitive data department, what is the most critical action for the responder to take next to analyze
this output for potential indicators of compromise?
