Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Automate the expiration of indicators based on the intelligence aging policy
Why this is correct
Stale intelligence leads to false positives and inefficient alerting.
- ✗
Store all raw intelligence feeds in an unindexed archive
Why it's wrong here
Unindexed data is not actionable and cannot be searched efficiently.
- ✓
Normalize data formats into the SIEM's schema
Why this is correct
Normalization is required for correlation and querying to function.
- ✓
Filter indicators to remove those irrelevant to the current technology stack
Why this is correct
Irrelevant data clutters the system and provides no value.
- ✗
Increase the TTL for all IP-based indicators to 'infinite'
Why it's wrong here
IPs are dynamic and permanent blocking is ineffective.
