A company RDLP Security Solutions that makes a data-loss appliance that your company has used for years to protect its data from unauthorized ex-filtration. The appliance is reporting a large spike in UNKNOWN outbound data every day at 12 PM. It can be modeled using the following function where x is minutes, and k(x) is outbound data record counts:

1. Plot this function for a period of ten minutes

2. At what time does the data ex-filtration rate peak?

3. What three steps would you recommend for further investigation of this daily anomaly?
