An analyst working in Splunk Enterprise Security notices that a configured detection is not being triggered as expected by authentication data coming from a particular source. The detection uses data models to perform a search so they have looked at the data and confirmed it is CIM compliant.
What else could be wrong?

  1. The data is missing the authentication tag.
  2. The data is missing the access tag.
  3. The data is missing the authentication field.
  4. The data is missing the access field.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In Splunk Enterprise Security, data models rely on tags to recognize and categorize events properly. Even if the data is CIM-compliant, if it lacks the authentication tag, the data won't populate the Authentication data model, and detections using that model won’t trigger. Proper tagging is essential for data to be included in the right data model.
