An organization integrates external text files into a training environment. Malicious actors embed harmful scripts in the incoming data, seeking to compromise the system. Which method is best for stopping these infiltration attempts?
Permit entries from addresses managed by recognized organizations.
Depend on general training initiatives to handle dangerous content.
Scan and sanitize incoming content prior to processing.
Add a single cleaning routine after the final build session.
Malicious scripts are often introduced during initial data ingestion. To reduce risk, content should be scanned and sanitized before processing. Post-build cleaning routines leave the system exposed, while trusting source addresses alone does not guarantee safety if those sources are compromised. General awareness training is important, but it doesn't protect automated pipelines from harmful input.
