Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Standard Syslog integration parser mapping
Why it's wrong here
Syslog integrations handle unstructured log streams, not scheduled threat feed pulls.
- ✗
Threat Intel Management API endpoint receiver
Why it's wrong here
XSOAR receives feeds via pull or push integration instances, not a dedicated TIM receiver API.
- ✓
Generic Feed integration using the GenericFeed module
Why this is correct
The Generic Feed integration provides a flexible framework for custom structured feeds.
- ✗
Custom REST API automation script executed via timer triggers
Why it's wrong here
While possible, a custom script lacks native indicator lifecycle and caching features provided by the Generic Feed.
