Question 1180

During an application modernization project at Maple Creek Agriculture, engineers say that they resolved this finding: Remote staff receive MFA prompts repeatedly even for a recent approved low-risk session but high-risk sessions are not distinguished. Which result provides the STRONGEST acceptance evidence?

  1. The high-risk event is surfaced with identity and session evidence for response.
  2. The noncompliant device is denied while compliant authorized devices connect.
  3. Low-risk access follows the defined experience while risky sessions require stronger checks.
  4. A credential-phishing rehearsal cannot authorize an administrative session.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Low-risk access follows the defined experience while risky sessions require stronger checks. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: Remote staff receive MFA prompts repeatedly even for a recent approved low-risk session but high-risk sessions are not distinguished. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use adaptive access policy with context-driven challenges and tested risk requirements—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Maple Creek Agriculture.

Incorrect Answers

A:

The high-risk event is surfaced with identity and session evidence for response. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A trusted user suddenly generates impossible travel and anomalous login patterns across applications, usually addressed by Use Duo Trust Monitor and risk context to investigate sign-in anomalies. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Maple Creek Agriculture was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Low-risk access follows the defined experience while risky sessions require stronger checks.

B:

The noncompliant device is denied while compliant authorized devices connect. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: An employee signs in from a known account but the device fails required health checks, usually addressed by Apply Duo Device Trust or health conditions before access to sensitive applications. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Maple Creek Agriculture was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Low-risk access follows the defined experience while risky sessions require stronger checks.

D:

A credential-phishing rehearsal cannot authorize an administrative session. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A company relies on SMS-only second-factor authentication for a highly sensitive admin portal, usually addressed by Evaluate phishing-resistant MFA options supported by Cisco Duo and enforce appropriate policy. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Maple Creek Agriculture was resolved. The specific required evidence is: Low-risk access follows the defined experience while risky sessions require stronger checks.

Question 1181

At Trident Finance, during a security incident tabletop exercise, the security team is examining payments and customer identity. The finding is: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. Which action BEST addresses this specific security issue?

  1. Use a controlled SOAR playbook for enrichment and incident creation with reviewable execution.
  2. Normalize event time and choose relevant search windows and field mapping for correlation.
  3. Add confidence thresholds and human approval before high-impact SOAR actions.
  4. Apply deduplication and idempotency controls in ingestion and orchestration.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Use a controlled SOAR playbook for enrichment and incident creation with reviewable execution. This directly addresses the documented failure: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. For the Trident Finance environment, the measurable success condition is: The seeded alert produces consistent enrichment and an assigned case without duplicate actions. This control targets the specific failure rather than merely changing an unrelated security setting.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Normalize event time and choose relevant search windows and field mapping for correlation. That action fits another problem: A SOC builds a Splunk search that uses inconsistent time zones and overlooks correlated authentication events. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Trident Finance: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use a controlled SOAR playbook for enrichment and incident creation with reviewable execution.

C:

Add confidence thresholds and human approval before high-impact SOAR actions. That action fits another problem: A response automation revokes user accounts based on one unverified alert and disrupts legitimate work. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Trident Finance: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use a controlled SOAR playbook for enrichment and incident creation with reviewable execution.

D:

Apply deduplication and idempotency controls in ingestion and orchestration. That action fits another problem: Splunk receives duplicate cloud events during connector recovery and runs multiple identical remediation playbooks. It does not directly remediate the current finding at Trident Finance: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. The relevant corrective control for this case is: Use a controlled SOAR playbook for enrichment and incident creation with reviewable execution.

Question 1182

At Trident Finance, a team reports that it corrected the following problem affecting payments and customer identity: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. Which observation BEST verifies that the correction actually worked?

  1. A repeated event results in one intended action and an auditable suppression record.
  2. A cross-source test exposes the complete timeline within the selected investigation window.
  3. Low-confidence alerts cannot revoke identities; approved high-confidence cases are logged.
  4. The seeded alert produces consistent enrichment and an assigned case without duplicate actions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The seeded alert produces consistent enrichment and an assigned case without duplicate actions. This is the decisive evidence for the original problem: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. It verifies that the intended corrective control—Use a controlled SOAR playbook for enrichment and incident creation with reviewable execution—works in the relevant environment; a completed change ticket alone would not prove the outcome at Trident Finance.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A repeated event results in one intended action and an auditable suppression record. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: Splunk receives duplicate cloud events during connector recovery and runs multiple identical remediation playbooks, usually addressed by Apply deduplication and idempotency controls in ingestion and orchestration. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Trident Finance was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The seeded alert produces consistent enrichment and an assigned case without duplicate actions.

B:

A cross-source test exposes the complete timeline within the selected investigation window. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A SOC builds a Splunk search that uses inconsistent time zones and overlooks correlated authentication events, usually addressed by Normalize event time and choose relevant search windows and field mapping for correlation. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Trident Finance was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The seeded alert produces consistent enrichment and an assigned case without duplicate actions.

C:

Low-confidence alerts cannot revoke identities; approved high-confidence cases are logged. This would be relevant evidence for a different failure: A response automation revokes user accounts based on one unverified alert and disrupts legitimate work, usually addressed by Add confidence thresholds and human approval before high-impact SOAR actions. It does not demonstrate that the current problem at Trident Finance was resolved. The specific required evidence is: The seeded alert produces consistent enrichment and an assigned case without duplicate actions.

Question 1183

A security engineer at Seabright Municipal Works reviews public service networks and records as part of a scheduled security controls review. The observed problem is: A Splunk alert contains evidence of confirmed credential misuse but analysts manually repeat the same enrichment steps. What is the BEST corrective action?

  1. Use a controlled SOAR playbook for enrichment and incident creation with reviewable execution.
  2. Propagate case IDs and record playbook inputs, decisions, tool status, and outputs.
  3. Apply deduplication and idempotency controls in ingestion and orchestration.
  4. Normalize event time and choose relevant search windows and field mapping for correlation.

Explanation
