Q1Advanced Threat And Endpoint Securityhard

You are using the Cisco Secure Endpoint API to query file trajectory data. The API returns a 429 status code. What is the most appropriate programmatic response?

Implement an exponential backoff algorithm before retryingCorrect
BImmediately retry the request with the same parameters
CUpdate the API key to a higher privilege level
DSwitch to the secondary API endpoint URL

HTTP 429 means 'Too Many Requests' — the client has exceeded the API rate limit. The correct programmatic response is to back off and retry, ideally using exponential backoff (with jitter) to avoid hammering the endpoint and to respect the server's Retry-After header when present…Read full explanation

Q2Advanced Threat And Endpoint Securityhard

You are using the Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints) API to query file trajectory data for a specific SHA-256 hash. The API returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. What is the most efficient way to handle this in your automation script?

ASwitch from HTTPS to HTTP to reduce overhead.
BIncrease the API rate limit in the Cisco Secure Endpoint dashboard.
CForce an authentication refresh on every request.
Implement an exponential backoff strategy with a retry logic.Correct

HTTP 429 Too Many Requests means the client has exceeded the API's rate limit, and the correct, standards-aligned response is to back off and retry. Exponential backoff (e.g., wait 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, with jitter) with retry logic prevents hammering the API, respects the server's Ret…Read full explanation

You are developing a script to pull Threat Grid sandbox reports. You receive a 401 Unauthorized error. What is the most likely cause?

AThe file is still being analyzed
The API key is missing or invalid in the Authorization headerCorrect
CRate limit exceeded
DThe API endpoint is deprecated

A 401 Unauthorized error from the Threat Grid API indicates that the request lacks valid authentication credentials. The most likely cause is that the API key is missing or invalid in the Authorization header. The API requires a valid API key to authenticate requests.
