   An ASM administrator notices that the BIG-IP's CPU utilization is consistently high during business hours, but the requests per second are within expected limits. The traffic includes many requests with large payloads and frequent policy violations. What is the most effective way to reduce CPU consumption without changing the hardware?

   • ADisable SSL processing
   • BTune the ASM policy to reduce the number of checks per request
   • CMove to a larger BIG-IP model
   • DIncrease the connection limit

   An ASM administrator is analyzing resource consumption patterns and notices that CPU usage spikes during specific times of the day. The traffic during those times includes many requests with SQL injection attempts. What is the most likely reason for the CPU spike?

   • AThe network is congested
   • BThe backend servers are slower
   • CThe requests are larger
   • DPolicy enforcement is more CPU-intensive for attack traffic

   If ASM latency is increasing steadily while throughput remains constant, what does this indicate about system health?

   • AThe system is processing requests faster.
   • BThe system is receiving fewer requests.
   • CThe system is healthy and performing optimally.
   • DThe system is becoming slower to process requests, possibly due to resource contention or policy complexity.

   An ASM administrator is analyzing resource consumption patterns and notices that memory usage is high, but CPU is moderate. The traffic includes many requests with large file uploads. The administrator has already limited the maximum file upload size, but memory usage remains high. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe policy is still buffering uploads for inspection
   • BThe backend servers are slow
   • CThe CPU is causing memory pressure
   • DThe network is congested
