An acceptable use policy is a managerial directive that formally defines required behaviors and rules for system use. It directs employees on what is and isn't allowed, making it a classic example of a directive control.

When conducting a forensic analysis after an incident, it's essential to prioritize the data collection process based on the "order of volatility." This principle dictates that more volatile data (e.g., data in memory, network connections) should be captured before less volatile data (e.g., disk drives, logs). The idea is to preserve the most transient and potentially valuable evidence first, as it is more likely to be lost or altered quickly.

The slow traceroute shows an extra first hop (10.20.10.10) with very high latency that does not appear when tracing from a known-good device on the same port. This indicates the affected device's traffic is being redirected through an additional intermediary on the path, consistent with an on-path (man-in-the-middle) attack.

Filesystem journaling records changes in a log, allowing the system to recover to a consistent or desired state after a crash or failure.

Agentless monitoring does not require the installation of software on the target device. It uses standard protocols to collect information, making it less intrusive and less resource intensive.
