Automatically page incident responders when low severity alerts occur.

Implement SOAR playbooks to automatically isolate infected endpoints.

Use a message bus to stream data to a data lake for trend analysis.

Automatically empty spam folders from end users’ mailboxes every 30 days.

Now they are looking for a tool that will provide a blackbox analysis of the application at runtime. Which of the following tool types would fit this need?

Code Repository YAML (CRY)

Repository Analysis Tool (RAT)

Static Application Security Tool (SAST)

Dynamic Application Security Tool (DAST)

Q70. Which of the following best describes the purpose of a “kill chain” mapping in detection engineering?

Tracking license consumption across kill chain stages

Mapping detections to stages of an attack lifecycle to identify coverage gaps

Automatically terminating malicious processes

Defining indexer replication policies

Q71. An architect needs to justify a request for additional indexer capacity. Which piece of evidence is most directly relevant?

Number of open notable events

Daily ingestion volume trend approaching license or hardware ceiling

Number of SOAR playbooks deployed

Number of dashboards in use

Q72. What are the benefits of having data in a normalized schema? (Choose all that apply.)

Standard field names to reference

Data can easily be summarized and/or accelerated

Easy to write detections against

All raw data fields are searchable

Q73. An architect is planning for a net new SIEM deployment. Which of the following data sources will provide the most immediate security value?

Physical access control logs

Active Directory logs

CMDB logs

Security tool alerts

Q74. Hannah is building a data lifecycle management strategy for her organization. She is evaluating data retention requirements such as how and when to delete or destroy data as part of that strategy. What factors must Hannah consider as part of defining data destruction requirements?
(Choose all that apply.)

The organization can archive data to reduce storage costs without ever needing to delete or destroy it.

Compliance and privacy regulations may require that data must be deleted upon customer request.

Legal regulations require that data be kept for a minimum period of time.

The organization may want to keep data forever in case of future use.

Q75. A SOC lead wants a single measurement that reflects how much of the organization’s known attack surface has automated detection coverage. Which artifact would best provide this?

A MITRE ATT&CK Navigator heatmap built from correlation search annotations

A license usage report

A list of all installed technology add-ons

A daily indexing volume report

Q76. Why should Attack Surface Management capabilities be integrated and automated in an environment?

To automatically create new detections

To evaluate attack payload in a sandbox

To test and ensure controls are effective

To integrate with firewalls to block attacks

Q77. Clara is responsible for how her organization’s SIEM ingests and stores event data. The newest version of the SIEM now includes APIs for managing the data ingestion pipelines. Clara wants to evaluate methods to programmatically manage those pipelines using her company’s version control and continuous integration systems. What benefits would this provide to the organization?
(Choose all that apply.)

Version control enables the ability to revert to a previously working version if something breaks.

Approval workflows can require that all changes are reviewed before implementation.

Integration pipelines eliminate the need for data validation.

Source code commits show who made a change.

Q78. Yokoco has contracted with Helpime to perform a penetration test. The scope of the test is all web facing internet applications. Helpime has completed the test and provided its report to Yokoco. What should be done with the unremediated findings of this report?
