Question#1

In the Incident War Room, which command is used to update incident fields identified in the incident layout?

A. !setIncidentFields
B. !setParentIncidentFields
C. !setParentIncidentContext
D. !updateParentIncidentFields

Explanation:
The !setIncidentFields command is used in the Incident War Room to directly update incident fields that are defined in the incident layout, ensuring the incident record reflects the latest information.

Question#2

When activating the Cortex XSIAM tenant, how is the data at rest configured with AES 128 encryption?

A. Under Advanced -> Encryption Method, choose the desired encryption method during the initial setup of the tenant.
B. Under Advanced, choose "BYOK," and adhere to the wizard's instructions as outlined in the encryption method section.
C. Create encryption keys with AES 128 and upload it securely through Cortex Gateway.
D. Under Advanced -> Encryption Method, choose the desired encryption method after the initial setup of the tenant.

Explanation:
During Cortex XSIAM tenant activation, data at rest is configured with AES 128 encryption by selecting "BYOK" (Bring Your Own Key) under the Advanced # Encryption Method option and following the wizard’s instructions. This ensures secure key management and compliance with encryption standards.

Question#3

What is the purpose of using rolling tokens to manage Cortex XDR agents?

A. To periodically rotate encryption keys used for tenant communication
B. To perform administration on agents without requiring static credentials
C. To authorize agents to download and install content updates D To temporarily disable the agents during maintenance windows

Explanation:
Rolling tokens in Cortex XDR are used to perform administration on agents without relying on static credentials. This improves security by providing time-limited, automatically rotating tokens that maintain agent management access without exposing long-lived credentials.

Question#4

Administrators from Building 3 have been added to Cortex XSIAM to perform limited functions on a subset of endpoints. Custom roles have been created and applied to the administrators to limit their permissions, but their access should also be constrained through the principle of least privilege according to the endpoints they are allowed to manage. All endpoints are part of an endpoint group named "Building3," and some endpoints may also be members of other endpoint groups.
Which technical control will restrict the ability of the administrators to manage endpoints outside of their area of responsibility, while maintaining visibility to Building 3's endpoints?

A. SBAC enabled in Building 3's IP range with the "EG:Building3" tag assigned to each administrator's scope
B. SBAC enabled in Permissive Mode with the "EG:Building3" tag assigned to each administrator's scope
C. SBAC enabled in Restrictive Mode with the "EG:Building3" tag assigned to each administrator's scope
D. SBAC enabled globally with the "EG:Building3" tag assigned to each administrator's scope

Explanation:
To enforce least privilege for Building 3 administrators, SBAC must be enabled in Restrictive Mode and the administrators’ scope must be limited to EG:Building3. This ensures they can only manage endpoints within the Building 3 group, even if those endpoints are also part of other groups, while blocking access to endpoints outside their responsibility.

Question#5

Which field is automatically mapped from the dataset to the data model when creating a data model rule?

A. _event_type
B. _insert_time
C. _host_name
D. _cloud_id

Explanation:
When creating a data model rule, the field _event_type is automatically mapped from the dataset to the data model. This ensures events are categorized correctly in alignment with the Cortex XSIAM Data Model (XDM).
