Pass the Paloalto Networks Security Operations XSIAM-Analyst Questions and answers with CertsForce

The correct answer isD – The xdm_core fieldset will be returned by default.

In Cortex XSIAM, when no specific fields are selected in a data model query, thexdm_core fieldset(which contains essential, core fields of the dataset) is automatically returned. This ensures analysts always have a baseline set of meaningful information in the results, even when fields are not explicitly specified.

"When no fields are specified in a data model query, Cortex XSIAM defaults to returning the xdm_core fieldset, which contains key metadata and context."

===========

The correct answer isB – Live Terminal.

In Cortex XSIAM, theLive Terminalfeature allows analysts to initiate an interactive command-line session with an endpoint directly from the management console. During an investigation, analysts can use Live Terminal to issue commands—including those that terminate suspicious or malicious processes running on the endpoint.

"Live Terminal provides analysts with a direct command line on the endpoint, enabling actions such as process termination during investigations."

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.

=====================

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.”

The correct answer isA – Isolate Endpoint.

The most effective initial response to contain a breach and reduce attacker mobility is toisolate the endpoint. This action ensures that the compromised machine can no longer communicate with the network or external systems, effectively cutting off lateral movement and exfiltration by attackers, while still allowing controlled response operations.

"Isolate Endpoint is the primary response action used to immediately contain a threat by severing all network communication, thus limiting attacker movement during active incidents."
