Isolating the network segment may disrupt other legitimate users and operations unnecessarily. Disabling credentials is more targeted and effective.

Containment: Isolating the network segment ensures that the employee cannot continue accessing sensitive files or exfiltrating data. Investigation: This allows the security team to investigate the incident thoroughly to understand what was accessed, how it was accessed, and whether any other systems or data were compromised. Mitigation: This step mitigates the risk of further unauthorized access while preserving the current state of the employee's workstation for forensic analysis.

D. Isolate the employee's network segment and investigate further. In this scenario, where an authenticated but unauthorized employee accessed files from their workstation, it is crucial to take immediate action to prevent any further unauthorized access or potential data exfiltration. The first step should be to isolate the employee's network segment. This will help contain any potential threat and prevent it from spreading further within the network. After isolation, a thorough investigation should be conducted to understand the extent of the unauthorized access, identify any potential data breaches, and determine if any further actions are necessary. This investigation may involve reviewing logs, examining the affected workstation, and possibly involving the appropriate authorities within the organization.
