Which action is unique to the security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) platforms?

  1. Prioritizing alerts
  2. Enhancing data collection
  3. Using predefined workflows
  4. Correlating incident data

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

SOAR platforms are unique in their ability to automate incident response through the use of predefined workflows. These workflows allow repetitive security tasks to be executed automatically,

improving response speed and efficiency.



Which two processes are critical to a security information and event management (SIEM) platform? (Choose two.)

  1. Detection of threats using data analysis
  2. Automation of security deployments
  3. Ingestion of log data
  4. Prevention of cvbersecurity attacks

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

Detection of threats using data analysis ­ SIEM platforms analyze collected data to identify suspicious patterns and detect threats.

Ingestion of log data ­ SIEM systems collect and centralize log data from various sources, which is essential for analysis, correlation, and alerting.

Automation and prevention are more aligned with SOAR and firewall/EDR functionalities, not the core operations of SIEM.



Which Palo Alto Networks solution has replaced legacy IPS solutions?

  1. Advanced DNS Security
  2. Advanced WildFire
  3. Advanced Threat Prevention
  4. Advanced URL Filtering

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Advanced Threat Prevention is the Palo Alto Networks solution that has replaced legacy Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). It offers inline, ML-powered threat detection and evasion-resistant inspection to block sophisticated threats in real time, going beyond traditional signature-based IPS.



Which type of system is a user entity behavior analysis (UEBA) tool?

  1. Correlating
  2. Active monitoring
  3. Archiving
  4. sandboxing

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A User Entity Behavior Analysis (UEBA) tool performs active monitoring by continuously analyzing the behavior of users and entities to detect anomalies that may indicate insider threats, compromised accounts, or malicious activity. It uses machine learning and analytics to identify unusual patterns in real time.



What is a function of SSL/TLS decryption?

  1. It applies to unknown threat detection only.
  2. It reveals malware within web-based traffic.
  3. It protects users from social engineering.
  4. It identifies loT devices on the internet.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

SSL/TLS decryption allows security tools to inspect encrypted traffic, enabling them to detect hidden malware, command-and-control communication, or data exfiltration that would otherwise bypass inspection if left encrypted.
