In the Endpoint Data context menu of the Cortex XSIAM endpoints table, where will an analyst be able to determine which users accessed an endpoint via Live Terminal?
- A. View Incidents
- B. View Endpoint Logs
- C. View Actions
- D. View Endpoint Policy
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer isD - View Actions.
Within the Cortex XSIAM Endpoints table, theView Actionscontext menu allows analysts to review historical actions performed on an endpoint, including Live Terminal access. This menu logs all actions such as isolations, scans, and terminal sessions, along with the user who initiated each action, making it the source for tracking who accessed the endpoint via Live Terminal.
"The View Actions option in the endpoints table displays a history of all performed actions, including Live Terminal sessions and the corresponding users." Document Reference:EDU-270c-10-lab-guide_02.docx (1).pdf Page:Page 13 (Agent Deployment and Configuration section)

NEW QUESTION # 76
An on-demand malware scan of a Windows workstation using the Cortex XDR agent is successful and detects three malicious files. An analyst attempts further investigation of the files by right-clicking on the scan result, selecting "Additional data," then "View related alerts," but no alerts are reported.
What is the reason for this outcome?
- A. The malicious files were false positives and were automatically removed from the scan results
- B. The malicious files were true positives and were automatically quarantined from the scan results
- C. The malware scan action detects malicious files but does not generate alerts for them
- D. The malicious files are currently in an excluded directory in the Malware Profile
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer isB. The malware scan action detects malicious files but does not generate alerts for them.
In Cortex XSIAM and XDR, an on-demand malware scan effectively identifies malicious files on an endpoint. However, such scans typically record their findings directly in the scan results without generating separate alerts. Alerts are generally created through real-time protection mechanisms or detection rules, not through manually triggered scans.
Exact Reference from Official Document:
"The on-demand malware scan capability is designed to detect and identify malicious files but does not automatically generate alerts for those files. Alerts are primarily generated through real-time endpoint protection policies and detection rules." Therefore, the absence of alerts despite successful malware detection is due to the designed behavior of on- demand scans.
NEW QUESTION # 77
In the Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) module, what does "compromised identity" typically indicate?
Response:
- A. Missing antivirus signature
- B. Failed software update
- C. Unauthorized access or behavior from a known identity
- D. USB device connection
Answer: C
NEW QUESTION # 78
You are hunting for endpoints that have recently executed PowerShell commands. Which two XQL query steps are appropriate?
Response:
- A. Use the xdm.process table
- B. Filter events by command-line arguments
- C. Export user reports from SIEM
- D. Query the xdm.asset table for policy info
Answer: A,B
NEW QUESTION # 79
A threat hunter discovers a true negative event from a zero-day exploit that is using privilege escalation to launch "Malware pdf.exe". Which XQL query will always show the correct user context used to launch
"Malware pdf.exe"?
- A. config case_sensitive = false | dataset = xdr_data | filter event_type = ENUM.PROCESS | filter action_process_image_name = "Malware.pdf.exe" | fields action_process_username
- B. config case_sensitive = false | dataset = xdr_data | filter event_type = ENUM.PROCESS | filter action_process_image_name = "Malware.pdf.exe" | fields causality_actor_effective_username
- C. config case_sensitive = false | dataset = xdr_data | filter event_type = ENUM.PROCESS | filter action_process_image_name = "Malware.pdf.exe" | fields actor_process_username
- D. config case_sensitive = false | datamodel dataset = xdrdata | filter xdm.source.process.name = "Malware.
pdf.exe" | fields xdm.target.user.username
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer isA- the query using the fieldcausality_actor_effective_username.
When analyzing events where privilege escalation is used, it is essential to identify the original effective user that initiated the causality chain, not merely the process's own running user (as provided by other fields). The fieldcausality_actor_effective_usernamespecifically provides the effective username context of the actor behind the entire chain of actions that resulted in launching the suspicious executable.
Explanation of fields from Official Document:
* causality_actor_effective_username: This field indicates the original effective user who started the entire causality chain.
* actor_process_usernameandaction_process_username: These fields indicate the immediate process username, not necessarily reflecting the correct original context when privilege escalation occurs.
Therefore, to always identify the correct user context in privilege escalation scenarios, optionAis the verified correct answer.
NEW QUESTION # 80
Which two actions will allow a security analyst to review updated commands from the core pack and interpret the results without altering the incident audit? (Choose two)
- A. Create a playbook with the commands and run it from within the War Room
- B. Run the core commands directly by typing them into the playground CLI.
- C. Run the core commands directly from the playground and invite other collaborators.
- D. Run the core commands directly from the Command and Scripts menu inside playground
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Correct answers areBandD.
In Cortex XSIAM/XSOAR, the playground provides a safe environment for testing commands without modifying the incident audit log or impacting live incidents.
* Option B:Running commands from the "Command and Scripts" menu within the playground allows review and interpretation of command outputs safely and isolated from actual incidents.
* Option D:Typing commands directly into the playground CLI similarly enables secure review and interpretation of results without affecting the incident audit or live data.
Options A and C are incorrect because:
* Option A invites collaboration, potentially impacting visibility or causing accidental changes.
* Option C creates playbooks that execute directly within the War Room, thus interacting with real incidents.
NEW QUESTION # 81
With regard to Attack Surface Rules, how often are external scans updated?
- A. Monthly
- B. Hourly
- C. Daily
- D. Weekly
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer isB - Daily.
In Cortex XSIAM's Attack Surface Management (ASM), external scans and associated attack surface rules are refreshed and updated on adaily basis. Daily updates ensure that security analysts are provided with timely and relevant insights regarding exposed assets and potential vulnerabilities that could impact the organization's security posture.
"External scans for Attack Surface Rules are updated daily to ensure the latest and most relevant security visibility." Document Reference:XSIAM Analyst ILT Lab Guide.pdf Exact Page:Page 41 (Attack Surface Management Section)
NEW QUESTION # 82
An analyst is responding to a critical incident involving a potential ransomware attack. The analyst immediately initiates full isolation on the compromised endpoint using Cortex XSIAM to prevent the malware from spreading across the network. However, the analyst now needs to collect additional forensic evidence from the isolated machine, including memory dumps and disk images without reconnecting it to the network.
Which action will allow the analyst to collect the required forensic evidence while ensuring the endpoint remains fully isolated?
- A. Collecting the evidence manually through the agent by accessing the machine directly and running
"Generate Support File" - B. Disabling full isolation temporarily to allow forensic tools to communicate with the endpoint
- C. Using the management console to remotely run a predefined forensic playbook on the associated alert
- D. Using the endpoint isolation feature to create a secure tunnel for evidence collection
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer isB, Collecting the evidence manually through the agent by accessing the machine directly and running "Generate Support File".
In situations where full isolation is enabled on an endpoint, all network communication is completely restricted. To ensure that the endpoint remains isolated while still obtaining forensic evidence such as memory dumps or disk images, the analyst needs to use manual collection via the agent directly on the machine. The
"Generate Support File" feature within the agent allows analysts to locally gather detailed forensic data without breaking network isolation.
This manual method ensures the endpoint does not reconnect or communicate externally, maintaining strict isolation for security purposes.
"In endpoint isolation mode, network communication is completely blocked. Analysts should utilize the local
'Generate Support File' function on the agent to collect forensic data while maintaining full isolation." Document Reference:XSIAM Analyst ILT Lab Guide.pdf Exact Page:Page 14 (Endpoints section)
NEW QUESTION # 83

NEW QUESTION # 89
SCENARIO:
A security analyst has been assigned a ticket from the help desk stating that users are experiencing errors when attempting to open files on a specific network share. These errors state that the file format cannot be opened. IT has verified that the file server is online and functioning, but that all files have unusual extensions attached to them.
The security analyst reviews alerts within Cortex XSIAM and identifies malicious activity related to a possible ransomware attack on the file server. This incident is then escalated to the incident response team for further investigation.
Upon reviewing the incident, the responders confirm that ransomware was successfully executed on the file server. Other details of the attack are noted below:
* An unpatched vulnerability on an externally facing web server was exploited for initial access
* The attackers successfully used Mimikatz to dump sensitive credentials that were used for privilege escalation
* PowerShell was used on a Windows server for additional discovery, as well as lateral movement to other systems
* The attackers executed SystemBC RAT on multiple systems to maintain remote access
* Ransomware payload was downloaded on the file server via an external site "file io" QUESTION STATEMENT:
Which forensics artifact collected by Cortex XSIAM will help the responders identify what the attackers were looking for during the discovery phase of the attack?
- A. User access logging
- B. Shell history
- C. PSReadline
- D. WordWheelQuery
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer isD - Shell history.
TheShell historyartifact provides a detailed record of commands executed during interactive shell sessions (such as via PowerShell or command prompt) on Windows and Linux systems. Reviewing this artifact enables responders to reconstruct the attacker's activity during thediscovery phase, showing exactly what directories, files, and commands were accessed or run, and what the attackers were searching for.
"The Shell history artifact allows responders to see what commands were executed during the attack, providing insight into attacker intent and discovery activities." Document Reference:XSIAM Analyst ILT Lab Guide.pdf Page:Page 46 (Incident Handling section, Causality and Forensics)
NEW QUESTION # 90
Which alert source leverages telemetry directly from endpoints?
Response:
- A. XDR Agent
- B. IOC
- C. External Threat Feeds
- D. Scheduled Query
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 91
Which attribution evidence will have the lowest confidence level when evaluating assets to determine if they belong to an organization's attack surface?
- A. An asset manually approved by a Cortex Xpanse analyst
- B. An asset discovered through registration information attributed to the organization
- C. An asset attributed to the organization because the name server domain contains the company domain
- D. An asset attributed to the organization because the Subject Organization field contains the company name
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer isC - An asset attributed to the organization because the Subject Organization field contains the company name.
When determining ownership of assets in the attack surface, attribution based solely on the Subject Organization field containing the company name is considered less reliable than evidence based on domain registration, authoritative DNS relationships, or manual analyst validation. This is because the Subject Organization field may contain non-unique or common names, leading to a higher rate of false associations, and is not as strong as direct registration records or explicit analyst verification.
"The confidence level is lowest when asset attribution is based on the Subject Organization field, since this field may not be unique to the organization and can result in inaccurate mapping." Document Reference:XSIAM Analyst ILT Lab Guide.pdf Page:Page 42 (Attack Surface Management section)
NEW QUESTION # 92
Which statement applies to a low-severity alert when a playbook trigger has been configured?
- A. Only low-severity analytics alerts will automatically run playbooks.
- B. The alert playbook will automatically run when grouped in an incident.
- C. The alert playbook can be manually run by an analyst.
- D. The alert playbook will run if the severity increases to medium or higher.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer isA. When a playbook trigger is configured for an alert-regardless of severity-the playbook willautomatically run when the alert is grouped into an incident, unless a severity condition is specifically configured in the playbook trigger. By default, the playbook will execute for any alert (including low severity) as soon as it is grouped within an incident.
"A playbook that is configured as a trigger for an alert will automatically execute when that alert is grouped as part of an incident, independent of the alert's severity unless a specific severity threshold is set." Document Reference:XSIAM Analyst ILT Lab Guide.pdf Page:Page 38 (Automation section)
