An administrator wants to ensure that specific sensitive incidents are restricted so that only members of the 'IncidentResponse' team can view or edit them. How should this be implemented?
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
✓
Configure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and assign incident type permissions to the 'IncidentResponse' role
Incident-level access control or role-based permissions on incident types can restrict visibility.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Turn off the REST API server for all non-admin users
Why it's wrong here
Disabling the REST API affects all integrations and automation, which is overly broad and inappropriate for restricting a single incident type.
- ✗
Password-protect each individual incident via the War Room header
Why it's wrong here
XSOAR does not support individual incident password protection via the War Room.
- ✓
Configure Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and assign incident type permissions to the 'IncidentResponse' role
Why this is correct
XSOAR RBAC allows restricting access to specific incident types based on user roles.
- ✗
Encrypt the incident database table using AES-256 keys
Why it's wrong here
Database encryption protects data at rest against physical theft, not logical UI role access.
