   A hospital's IT team wants to detect insider threats, such as employees accessing patient records they don't need for their job. They have a large volume of access logs and want to identify unusual patterns without creating a heavy rule-based system. Which AI approach is BEST suited for this task?

   • AA signature-based malware scanner
   • BA predictive model that forecasts the next ransomware attack
   • CA vulnerability scanner that checks for missing patches
   • DUser and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) that learns normal access patterns and flags deviations

   A company's incident response team is overwhelmed by the number of alerts during a large-scale phishing campaign. They want to use AI to automatically contain the threat by quarantining affected email accounts and blocking malicious domains, but they also want to maintain a record of all actions for compliance. What is the BEST approach?

   • AUse an AI-driven SOAR platform that executes containment actions and logs every step for audit
   • BIncrease the spam filter's sensitivity to block all emails containing the campaign's subject line
   • CUse an AI model that predicts which accounts will be compromised and disables them preemptively
   • DManually quarantine accounts and block domains, documenting each action in a spreadsheet
