In the last hour, a high volume of failed RDP authentication attempts has been logged on a critical server. All of the authentication attempts originated from the same remote IP address and made use of a single valid domain user account. Which of the following mitigating controls would be most effective to reduce the rate of success of this brute-force attack? (Choose two.)

  • A. Increase the granularity of log-on event auditing on all devices.
  • B. Enable host firewall rules to block all outbound traffic to TCP port 3389.
  • C. Configure user account lockout after a limited number of failed attempts.
  • D. Implement a firewall block for the IP address of the remote system.
  • E. Install a third-party remote access tool and disable RDP on all devices.
  • F. Block inbound to TCP port 3389 from untrusted remote IP addresses at the perimeter firewall.

Selected Answer: CF
A - This is related to monitoring, not mitigation, and does not address the issue. B - This is plain wrong, why would you block outbound traffic, when the auth attempts are inbound D - This is not practical, as the attacker could simply change the IP E - This seems like overkill, also this more of an avoid tactic as you disable RDP altogether C and F are the most practical in this case.
