What should operators do in response to events indicating a potential compromise in container execution?
Audit logs
Update configurations
Trigger an alert
Terminate the container
The correct answer is: Trigger an alert
When operators encounter events that suggest a potential compromise in container execution, triggering an alert is a crucial first step. This action allows for immediate awareness of the situation, facilitating a timely and coordinated response from the relevant team members. Alerts can be configured to notify operators about specific suspicious behaviors or anomalies detected within the container environment, ensuring that stakeholders are informed and can take appropriate action to mitigate risks. While auditing logs, updating configurations, or terminating the container might be necessary as part of a comprehensive incident response, the initial action of triggering an alert ensures that the issue is escalated and handled appropriately. Unaddressed, log audits or configuration updates may not promptly inform the team of an ongoing issue, while terminating the container without prior alerting could lead to a loss of valuable forensic data that could be vital in understanding the nature of the compromise.
