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

The correct answer isD – Hostnames, user names, IP addresses, and Active Directory.

These are commonly used and supported asfeatured fieldsin Cortex XSIAM for filtering, correlation, and highlighting key data points across incidents and alerts.

"Featured fields can include hostnames, user names, IP addresses, and Active Directory objects for enhanced alert context and searchability."

===========

The correct answer isA – ${parentIncidentContext}.

This syntax is the correct variable for referencing the incident context within playbook and War Room tasks, enabling data to be accessed from the parent incident during alert investigation or automation steps.

“Use ${parentIncidentContext} in War Room and playbook tasks to reference the context of the parent incident.”

===========

The correct answer is A – Add the C-level executive users to the Executive Accounts asset role.

By assigning C-level executives to the Executive Accounts asset role, any alerts generated from those accounts or devices are highlighted and given higher visibility in Cortex XSIAM.

“Adding C-level users to the Executive Accounts asset role ensures that related alerts are highlighted and prioritized.”

The correct answer isA – Initiate the endpoint isolate action to contain the threat.

For incidents indicating possible remote compromise or unauthorized task creation, the most effective initial response isendpoint isolation. This cuts off the endpoint’s network access, preventing lateral movement and limiting attacker activity until further investigation and remediation.

“The endpoint isolate action is the primary containment step in incidents involving suspected remote compromise, halting network communication to reduce further risk.”

The correct answer is C, the !checkIndicatorExtraction text="indicator@test.com" command.

This command specifically verifies if Cortex XSIAM has been correctly configured to extract indicators from given text. It ensures that the text provided ("indicator@test.com") would indeed be recognized and extracted as an indicator under the current configuration of Cortex XSIAM.

Other provided commands do not directly verify the indicator extraction configuration:

Option A: IcreateNewIndicator manually creates an indicator; it does not validate extraction capability.

Option B: !extractIndicators attempts extraction immediately but does not verify existing configuration explicitly.

Option D: Iemailvalue command is generally for creating or querying email indicators, not verifying extraction configuration.

Therefore, the explicit functionality for checking if indicator extraction is configured correctly within Cortex XSIAM is precisely covered by !checkIndicatorExtraction.

Reference Extract from Official Document:

"Verify if Cortex XSIAM is correctly configured to extract indicators using the command !checkIndicatorExtraction text=."

This exact description confirms that option C is the correct answer to validate the configuration explicitly.
