XSIAM-Analyst Dumps with Practice Exam Questions Answers

The correct answer isB - Rare process execution in organization.

In Cortex XSIAM, when an incident is created, thefirst alert generatedwithin the incident’s timeline is considered the initiating event or the trigger responsible for the creation of the incident. Based on the provided timestamps, the earliest alert generated was the"Rare process execution in organization", at10:24:17 AM. Subsequent alerts within the same causality chain or event flow would be added to this already-created incident.

Hence, the initiating alert is always the earliest alert chronologically within an incident's timeline.

"Incidents are created based on the earliest alert in the causality chain. Subsequent related alerts are grouped under the same incident."

The correct answer isA – Isolate Endpoint.

The most effective initial response to contain a breach and reduce attacker mobility is toisolate the endpoint. This action ensures that the compromised machine can no longer communicate with the network or external systems, effectively cutting off lateral movement and exfiltration by attackers, while still allowing controlled response operations.

"Isolate Endpoint is the primary response action used to immediately contain a threat by severing all network communication, thus limiting attacker movement during active incidents."

The correct answer is C – Installation of the appropriate content pack was not completed.

If the relevant playbooks are not executed automatically—even though Cortex XSIAM suggests them—it is often due to the required content pack not being installed. Playbooks and their dependencies are delivered through content packs, and unless the content pack is fully installed and enabled, those playbooks cannot run automatically.

“Playbooks may not execute if the required content pack is not installed or enabled in Cortex XSIAM.”

The correct answer isD – The xdm_core fieldset will be returned by default.

In Cortex XSIAM, when no specific fields are selected in a data model query, thexdm_core fieldset(which contains essential, core fields of the dataset) is automatically returned. This ensures analysts always have a baseline set of meaningful information in the results, even when fields are not explicitly specified.

"When no fields are specified in a data model query, Cortex XSIAM defaults to returning the xdm_core fieldset, which contains key metadata and context."

The correct answer isA – The rule is configured with alert severity below Medium.

By default, in Cortex XSIAM,only alerts with a severity of Medium or higher will automatically generate incidents. If a correlation rule creates alerts with severity set below Medium (such as Low or Informational), these alerts willnotresult in the automatic creation of an incident. This ensures that incident queues are not filled with low-priority events.

"Incidents are generated only for alerts with severity of Medium or higher. Alerts below this threshold will not automatically create incidents."
