Question 1150

At Briarwood Property Group, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting tenant applications and facility services: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?

  1. A benign anomaly remains available for review while confirmed malicious behavior triggers the intended action.
  2. The analytic connects the suspect user session to its downstream protected resource access.
  3. A high-priority alert produces an owned case and records the authorized containment sequence.
  4. The case links related alerts to a single affected endpoint with a coherent event timeline.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A benign anomaly remains available for review while confirmed malicious behavior triggers the intended action. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use risk-weighted XDR/SIEM detections and approval or bounded response playbooks—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Briarwood Property Group.

Incorrect Answers

B:

The analytic connects the suspect user session to its downstream protected resource access. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A Splunk search detects suspicious sign-ins but cannot associate them with firewall flows to sensitive servers, usually addressed by Normalize entity identity and correlate authentication data with network traffic observations. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Briarwood Property Group was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A benign anomaly remains available for review while confirmed malicious behavior triggers the intended action.

C:

A high-priority alert produces an owned case and records the authorized containment sequence. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Security events are visible in Splunk but the response process has no case ownership or action tracking, usually addressed by Integrate alerts with defined incident management and SOAR actions including audit and escalation. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Briarwood Property Group was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A benign anomaly remains available for review while confirmed malicious behavior triggers the intended action.

D:

The case links related alerts to a single affected endpoint with a coherent event timeline. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Two SOC tools raise unrelated incidents for the same host because network and endpoint events lack common identity, usually addressed by Correlate endpoint, identity, and network telemetry through XDR or SIEM entity mapping. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Briarwood Property Group was resolved. The specific required evidence is: A benign anomaly remains available for review while confirmed malicious behavior triggers the intended action.

Question 1151

A security engineer at Arborstone Tech reviews SaaS tenants and operational systems as part of a privileged access assessment. The observed problem is: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control. What is the BEST corrective action?

  1. Use behavioral baselines or appropriately validated AI/ML analytics alongside deterministic detection.
  2. Integrate alerts with defined incident management and SOAR actions including audit and escalation.
  3. Use risk-weighted XDR/SIEM detections and approval or bounded response playbooks.
  4. Normalize entity identity and correlate authentication data with network traffic observations.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Use risk-weighted XDR/SIEM detections and approval or bounded response playbooks. This directly addresses the documented failure: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control. For the Arborstone Tech environment, the measurable success condition is: A benign anomaly remains available for review while confirmed malicious behavior triggers the intended action. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Use behavioral baselines or appropriately validated AI/ML analytics alongside deterministic detection. That action fits another problem: Network flow analysis misses low-and-slow lateral movement because all decisions rely on static signatures. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Arborstone Tech: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use risk-weighted XDR/SIEM detections and approval or bounded response playbooks.

B:

Integrate alerts with defined incident management and SOAR actions including audit and escalation.

It does not directly remediate the current finding at Arborstone Tech: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use risk-weighted XDR/SIEM detections and approval or bounded response playbooks.

Question 1152

During a privileged access assessment at Arborstone Tech, engineers say that they resolved this finding: A SOC deploys automated blocking for every anomaly score without false-positive control. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?

  1. A high-priority alert produces an owned case and records the authorized containment sequence.
  2. A controlled unusual peer-to-peer pattern triggers a contextual security finding.
  3. The analytic connects the suspect user session to its downstream protected resource access.
  4. A benign anomaly remains available for review while confirmed malicious behavior triggers the intended action.
