When investigating an endpoint alert in XSIAM, an analyst wants to understand the full scope of potential compromise. Which THREE key data artifacts are typically available within the Causality Analysis View (CAV) for a suspicious process execution? (Choose three)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
File modifications and registry changes performed by the investigated processes.
The Causality Analysis View provides details on parent-child process chains, associated network connections, and file/registry modifications tied to the causal chain.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
File modifications and registry changes performed by the investigated processes.
Why this is correct
Artifacts modified by the execution chain are visible in the CAV inspection panel.
- ✗
Full Active Directory domain controller database replication logs.
Why it's wrong here
Domain controller replication logs are outside the scope of endpoint causality analysis.
- ✓
Network connection details initiated by processes within the causality chain.
Why this is correct
CAV displays network activity associated with the processes in the execution chain.
- ✓
The parent-child process execution tree showing the sequence of spawned commands.
Why this is correct
CAV maps out the hierarchical process tree leading to and following the event.
- ✗
Real-time physical memory dumps of the endpoint hardware RAM.
Why it's wrong here
CAV does not automatically store or display raw physical memory RAM dumps unless a specific memory acquisition action was executed.
