An administrator is investigating an alert and reads a summary that says:The application powershell.

The correct answer is to click Drop Connection, which is a feature of VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard that allows the administrator to immediately terminate a network connection that is deemed malicious or suspicious. This feature can be accessed from the Alert Details page, where the administrator can see the application, process, and destination IP address of the connection. By clicking Drop Connection, the administrator can block the connection without affecting the rest of the system or network. This is a quick and effective way to stop a potential threat from communicating with a remote server or exfiltrating data. References: = VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Skills Reference Materials, Section 4.3: Investigate Alerts, Subsection 4.3.2: Drop Connection.
