   A company's ASM has been in production for three years. The historical data shows that the number of policy violations has increased by 15% each year, while the number of legitimate requests has remained constant. The security team is concerned about the effectiveness of the ASM. What should the administrator do to determine if the ASM is operating effectively?

   • AIncrease the enforcement mode to block more traffic and reduce the number of violations.
   • BReview the ASM logs to identify which signatures are triggering the violations.
   • CAnalyze the types of violations and compare them with the current threat landscape to see if the increase is due to new attack patterns.
   • DAssume the ASM is becoming less effective because the number of violations is increasing.

   A security team reviews the ASM's monthly activity report and notices that the number of requests has been increasing by 5% each month for the past six months. The team is planning for the next year. What should they do to predict future operational needs?

   • AReview the current resource usage and assume it will be sufficient for the next year.
   • BUse the historical growth rate to project the request volume for the next year and assess the impact on ASM resources.
   • CAssume the growth rate will remain constant and plan for a 5% increase each month.
   • DWait until the request volume reaches a critical level before planning.

   An administrator observes that the ASM's disk usage is growing at a steady rate due to increased logging. The growth trajectory shows that disk space will be exhausted in two months. What adjustment should the administrator make to maintain effective ASM operations?

   • AIgnore the trend because disk usage will stabilize on its own
   • BIncrease disk capacity or adjust log retention policies
   • CDisable all logging to prevent disk usage
   • DReduce the number of security policies to lower log volume

   An administrator notices that the ASM's request throughput has grown by 15% each month for the last three months. What does this historical trend suggest about future operational needs?

   • AThe ASM will remain effective without any changes because it is designed to handle any load
   • BThe ASM will experience a decrease in performance unless all traffic is blocked
   • CThe ASM will automatically adjust its security policies to handle the increased load
   • DThe ASM will likely require additional capacity or resources in the near future
