NO.56 Which of the following use cases is best suited to be a Splunk SOAR Playbook?

A Forming hypothesis for Threat Hunting

Visualizing complex datasets.

Creating persistent field extractions.

Taking containment action on a compromised host

NO.57 Which Splunk resource provides pre-built content for assessing data sources and threat intelligence capabilities?

Splunk Security Essentials

Splunk Enterprise Security (ES)

Splunk Lantern

Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Exchange

NO.58 Which of the following data sources can be used to discover unusual communication within an organization’s network?

EDS

Net Flow

IAM

NO.59 Which of the following is a best practice for searching in Splunk?

Streaming commands run before aggregating commands in the Search pipeline.

Raw word searches should contain multiple wildcards to ensure all edge cases are covered.

Limit fields returned from the search utilizing the cable command.

Searching over All Time ensures that all relevant data is returned.

NO.60 In Splunk Enterprise Security, annotations can be added to enrich correlation search results with security framework mappings. Which of the following security frameworks is not available as a default annotation option?

MITRE ATT&CK

OWASP Top 10

CIS

Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain

NO.61 Which of the following roles is commonly responsible for selecting and designing the infrastructure and tools that a security analyst utilizes to effectively complete their job duties?

Threat Intelligence Analyst

SOC Manager

Security Engineer

Security Architect

NO.62 Storing log checksums in a public blockchain system is most closely linked to which security concept?

Obfuscation

Confidentiality

Availability

Integrity

Storing log checksums in a public blockchain ensures that logs cannot be altered without detection. This directly supports Integrity, as the blockchain provides an immutable record that validates the authenticity and completeness of the logs.

NO.63 What is the term for a model of normal network activity used to detect deviations?

A baseline.

A cluster.

A time series.

A data model.

NO.64 There are different metrics that can be used to provide insights into SOC operations. If Mean Time to Respond is defined as the total time it takes for an Analyst to disposition an event, what is the typical starting point for calculating this metric for a particular event?

When the malicious event occurs.

When the end users are notified about the issue.

When a Notable Event is triggered.

When the SOC Manager is informed of the issue.

Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) typically begins when a Notable Event is triggered in Splunk Enterprise Security. This marks the point at which the SOC becomes aware of a potential issue, initiating the response process. The metric captures how quickly analysts can investigate and resolve the event from that trigger point.

NO.65 In the context of cybersecurity, what does the term “SIEM” stand for?

Security Incident and Event Management.

Secure Internet and Email Management.

Systematic Intrusion and Event Monitoring.

Safety Intranet and Event Maintenance.

NO.66 The Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain breaks an attack lifecycle into several stages. A threat actor modified the registry on a compromised Windows system to ensure that their malware would automatically run at boot time. Into which phase of the Kill Chain would this fall?

Act on Objectives

Exploitation

Delivery

Installation

NO.67 Which of the following is a best practice when creating performant searches within Splunk?

Utilize the transaction command to aggregate data for faster analysis.

Utilize Aggregating commands to ensure all data is available prior to Streaming commands.

Utilize specific fields to return only the data that is required.

Utilize multiple wildcards across fields to ensure returned data is complete and available.

NO.68 While investigating a finding in Splunk, an analyst manually searches for threat intelligence matches and adds them to a list if they come back as malicious. Then, they send a request to contain the compromised host.
What would be the best solution to fully automate this process?

An intelligence response action.

A SOAR playbook triggered by the detection.

Document those steps in the team’s runbook.

A model-assisted threat hunt.

A Splunk SOAR playbook can ingest the notable event, automatically query threat_intel, update lists for malicious indicators, and execute containment actions on the affected host – all in one end_to_end, fully automated workflow.

NO.69 An analyst is building a search to examine Windows XML Event Logs, but the initial search is not returning any extracted fields. Based on the above image, what is the most likely cause?

The analyst does not have the proper role to search this data.

The analyst is searching newly indexed data that was improperly parsed.

The analyst did not add the excract command to their search pipeline.

The analyst is not in the Drooer Search Mode and should switch to Smart or Verbose.

NO.70 Which of the following is a tactic used by attackers, rather than a technique?

Gathering information about a target.

Establishing persistence with a scheduled task.

Using a phishing email to gain initial access.

Escalating privileges via UAC bypass.

NO.71 An adversary uses “LoudWiner” to hijack resources for crypto mining. What does this represent in a TTP framework?
