20+ practice questions focused on Cyber Landscape And Industry Frameworks — one of the most tested topics on the Splunk Certified Cybersecurity Defense Analyst (SPLK-5001) (SPLK-5001) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Cyber Landscape And Industry Frameworks PracticeYou are reviewing a Splunk Enterprise Security alert mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK technique 'T1059.001 (PowerShell)'. Which search command would best identify the use of obfuscated PowerShell commands?
Explanation: The `tstats` command efficiently queries data models, and the Endpoint.Processes data model contains process execution events. Filtering for `process_name=powershell.exe` identifies PowerShell usage. To detect obfuscation, additional analysis of command-line arguments is needed, but this search provides the base events for such analysis. It is the most efficient and accurate starting point.
You are configuring the Splunk Security Essentials (SSE) app to align with the NIST CSF framework. You want to prioritize your detection development based on the most critical gaps. Which action should you take?
Explanation: Splunk Security Essentials (SSE) includes a Compliance tab that maps its detection content to frameworks like NIST CSF, CIS, and MITRE ATT&CK, and the Framework Coverage report shows which controls are covered and which have gaps. Running this report lets you prioritize detection development against the most critical uncovered controls. This is the intended workflow for aligning SSE content with NIST CSF.
You are mapping incoming alerts to the MITRE ATT&CK framework within the Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) Incident Review dashboard. Which attribute mapping ensures that your TTP-based notable events correctly reflect the adversary behavior?
Explanation: Splunk Enterprise Security maps notables to MITRE ATT&CK using the mitre_attack_id field, which is populated through the Threat Intelligence framework and the ES Threat Activity data model. This field carries the technique ID (e.g., T1059) that links a notable event to the correct adversary technique in the ATT&CK matrix, ensuring the Incident Review dashboard reflects actual TTPs.
When using the Splunk Enterprise Security 'Threat Intelligence' framework, which file type is used to import custom STIX/TAXII threat feeds to align with the MITRE ATT&CK framework?
Explanation: The Splunk Enterprise Security Threat Intelligence framework uses a KV Store collection to store and manage threat intelligence data, including custom STIX/TAXII feeds. The Threat Intelligence Manager is the UI component that allows analysts to upload, configure, and maintain these feeds, which are then stored in the KV Store for correlation and enrichment. This approach enables dynamic updates and integration with the MITRE ATT&CK framework through the Threat Intelligence framework's data models and lookups.
You are configuring Splunk Enterprise Security to monitor for MITRE ATT&CK 'Persistence' techniques. Which TWO data sources provide the highest fidelity logs for detecting registry-based persistence?
Explanation: Sysmon Event IDs 12 and 13 are correct because Event ID 12 logs registry key create/delete operations and Event ID 13 logs registry value set operations, which directly capture the registry modifications attackers use for persistence (e.g., Run keys, Services, IFEO). Windows Registry audit logs (via GPO/Sysmon) are also correct because enabling registry auditing through GPO or Sysmon provides granular, high-fidelity visibility into registry key and value changes tied to persistence mechanisms. Together these sources record the exact registry artifacts (key paths, value names, data, and process context) needed to detect and investigate registry-based persistence. Windows Security Event Logs (4688) only record process creation and lack registry modification detail, so they are insufficient alone. DNS query logs and Netflow logs capture network activity, not local registry changes, and therefore have no fidelity for registry-based persistence detection.
