B. The detection software alerted the retailer’s security operations center as designed, but the information security personnel failed to act upon the alerts in a timely manner.
C. The IT systems and security measures utilized by the retailer’s third-party vendors were in compliance with industry standards, but their credentials were stolen by advanced threat actors who then entered the retailer’s system.
D. The retailer’s network that transferred personal data and customer payments was separate from the rest of the corporate network, but the malware code was disguised with the name of software that is supposed to protect this information.
