You suspect that an EBS volume attached to an EC2 instance has been compromised. What steps should you take to mitigate the risk and prevent further unauthorized access?




Explanation:

Detaching the EBS volume from the instance and performing a forensic analysis allows you to investigate the issue without risking further unauthorized access. Deleting the volume might lead to data loss. Encrypting the volume is a good practice but does not address immediate access issues. Increasing volume size does not affect security.
