20+ practice questions focused on Intelligence Reporting And Dissemination — one of the most tested topics on the Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (312-85) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Intelligence Reporting And Dissemination PracticeYour organization uses a TIP (Threat Intelligence Platform) to ingest STIX feeds. You notice that the ingest process is failing specifically for feeds sourced from an older platform using STIX 1.2. Why is this occurring?
Explanation: STIX 1.x used an XML-based schema with a fundamentally different data model than STIX 2.x, which is JSON-based and restructured around SDOs and SROs. A TIP built for STIX 2.x cannot natively parse STIX 1.2 XML, so a schema transformation (often via tools like stix2-elevator or custom XSLT) is required before ingestion. This is why the ingest fails specifically for the older feed.
You are configuring a TAXII 2.1 server to share threat indicators with a government partner. You need to ensure the connection enforces the transport-level security requirements for sensitive data exchange. Which setting must you verify in the TAXII configuration?
Explanation: TAXII 2.1 mandates HTTPS for transport security, and for sensitive government sharing, mutual TLS (mTLS) is the setting that enforces strong client-server authentication at the transport layer. mTLS requires both the server and client to present valid certificates, ensuring that only authorized partners can connect and that data is exchanged over an authenticated, encrypted channel.
When setting up a TAXII 2.1 client, which THREE settings are mandatory for establishing a successful connection to a server?
Explanation: Option B (Server Discovery URL) is mandatory because a TAXII 2.1 client must first query the discovery endpoint (typically /taxii2/) to learn the server's available API roots and advertised versions before any collection can be accessed. Option C (API Root Identifier) is required because all TAXII 2.1 collection and object endpoints are scoped under an API root path (e.g., /api1/), so the client must know which API root to target for subsequent requests. Option D (Authentication Credentials) is required because TAXII 2.1 servers enforce authentication (commonly HTTP Basic or a bearer token) on discovery, API root, and collection endpoints, so the client cannot establish a successful session without valid credentials. Option A (Local proxy configuration) is not mandatory—a proxy is only needed in environments that route traffic through one, and it is not part of the TAXII protocol requirements. Option E (JSON Schema Validation path) is not mandatory—schema validation is an optional client-side data-quality step and is not needed to connect to or retrieve data from a TAXII 2.1 server.
Which THREE of the following are valid reasons to use the STIX 'Sighting' object?
Explanation: The Sighting object is used to indicate that an indicator was seen, provide context on the target, and show where it was detected.
Your organization is mandated to share threat indicators under the Traffic Light Protocol (TLP). Which TLP marking indicates that the information can be shared with peers within the sector but should not be distributed publicly?
Explanation: TLP:AMBER indicates information that can be shared within the organization and with partners/peers who have a need-to-know, but not released to the general public.
