Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Cloud > Posture > Identity
Why it's wrong here
Cloud posture focuses on CSPM and IAM misconfigurations, not endpoint/ITDR behavioral alerts.
- ✓
Incident Response > Alerts, filtering by Analytics category related to Identity
Why this is correct
The Alerts view allows filtering by Analytics categories to identify UBA-driven identity threats.
- ✗
XQL Search > Identity_Raw schema
Why it's wrong here
While raw data is in XQL, standard UBA alerts are triaged in the Alerts view.
- ✗
Endpoints > Agent Configurations > Identity
Why it's wrong here
Agent configurations manage deployment settings, not active UBA alerts.
