Start Threat Detection And Incident Response PracticeIn Cortex XSOAR, an analyst wants to ensure that a specific indicator (IOC) is blocked across all integrated security tools, including the firewall and endpoint protection. Which feature should be used to automate this blocklist synchronization?
Explanation: The Indicator Auto-Extraction and subsequent Automation Scripts in XSOAR can trigger blocking actions across integrated products.
When investigating a compromise, you find an artifact in XSOAR. To gather more context about this file without leaving the platform, which integration should be utilized?
Explanation: Threat Intelligence integrations in XSOAR allow for automated lookups of IOCs against external sources.
You are troubleshooting a scenario where an incident is not appearing in XSOAR despite an alert in XDR. Which configuration should you verify to ensure the bi-directional sync is functioning?
Explanation: The XDR-XSOAR integration instance configuration defines the flow of alerts into XSOAR.
You are creating an XSOAR playbook to automate incident closure. Which step type is required to change the status of an incident to 'Closed'?
Explanation: The 'Set Incident' task in XSOAR allows for the modification of incident attributes, including status.
A SOC analyst is building an XQL query in Cortex XDR to hunt for lateral movement via remote service creation. The analyst needs to correlate process execution on a source host with the corresponding logon activity on a destination host. (Choose two.)
Explanation: Correlating source process activity with destination logon activity requires the join operator to link events on a shared key such as hostname or account, and the fields clause to keep the output focused on the columns that matter. Together they produce a readable result set that shows which process on the source host led to which logon on the destination host.
