A security analyst is reviewing a report from the networking department that describes an increase in network utilization, which is causing network performance issues on some systems. A top talkers report over a five-minute sample is included.
Given the above output of the sample, which of the following should the security analyst accomplish FIRST to help track down the performance issues?
A. Perform reverse lookups on each of the IP addresses listed to help determine if the traffic is necessary.
B. Recommend that networking block the unneeded protocols such as Quicktime to clear up some of the congestion.
C. Put ACLs in place to restrict traffic destined for random or non-default application ports.
D. Quarantine the top talker on the network and begin to investigate any potential threats caused by the excessive traffic.
