Palo Alto Networks XSIAM Engineer Questions and Answers
When a Cortex XSIAM playbook execution reaches a breakpoint on a non-manual task, which two actions will allow the playbook to continue? (Choose two.)
Before initiating a malware scan action on a Linux workstation, an engineer notices that the Cortex XDR agent's operational status on the workstation is reporting as "partially protected." There have been no configuration changes made from the Cortex XSIAM server.
What are two explanations for this operational status? (Choose two.)
While using the playbook debugger, an engineer attaches the context of an alert as test data.
What happens with respect to the interactions with the list objects via tasks in this scenario?
An engineer needs to migrate Cortex XDR agents without internet connection from Cortex XSIAM tenant A to Cortex XSIAM tenant B. There is a broker configured for each tenant. This is the communication flow:
XDR agents <-> Broker A <-> XSIAM tenant A
XDR agents <-> Broker B <-> XSIAM tenant B
Which two steps should be taken before moving the agents? (Choose two.)
What is the function of the "MODEL" section when creating a data model rule?
A systems engineer overseeing the integration of data from various sources through data pipelines into Cortex XSIAM notices modifications occurring during the ingestion process, and these modifications reduce the accuracy of threat detection and response. The engineer needs to assess the risks associated with the pre-ingestion data modifications and develop effective solutions for data integrity and system efficacy.
Which set of steps must be followed to meet these goals?
A Behavioral Threat Protection (BTP) alert is triggered with an action of "Prevented (Blocked)" on one of several application servers running Windows Server 2022. The investigation determines the involved processes to be legitimate core OS binaries, and the description from the triggered BTP rule is an acceptable risk for the company to allow the same activity in the future.
This type of activity is only expected on the endpoints that are members of the endpoint group "AppServers," which already has a separate prevention policy rule with an exceptions profile named "Exceptions-AppServers" and a malware profile named "Malware-AppServers."
The CGO that was terminated has the following properties:
SHA256: eb71ea69dd19f728ab9240565e8c7efb59821e19e3788e289301e1e74940c208
File path: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
Digital Signer: Microsoft Corporation
How should the exception be created so that it is scoped as narrowly as possible to minimize the security gap?
Options:
Create the exception via the alert itself, selecting the CGO hash, CGO signer, CGO process path, and applying the scope to the "Exceptions-AppServers" profile.
Create a Disable Prevention Rule via Exceptions Configuration with the following selections:
Create a Legacy Agent Exception via Exceptions Configuration with the following selections:
Create the exception via the alert itself, selecting the CGO hash, CGO signer, CGO process path, and applying the scope to "Global."
A Cortex XSIAM engineer at a SOC downgrades a critical threat intelligence content pack from the Cortex Marketplace while performing routine maintenance. As a result, the SOC team loses access to the latest threat intelligence data.
Which action will restore the functionality of the content pack to its previously installed version?
An engineer wants to onboard data from a third-party vendor’s firewall. There is no content pack available for it, so the engineer creates custom data source integration and parsing rules to generate a dataset with the firewall data.
How can the analytics capabilities of Cortex XSIAM be used on the data?
Which field is automatically mapped from the dataset to the data model when creating a data model rule?
Administrators from Building 3 have been added to Cortex XSIAM to perform limited functions on a subset of endpoints. Custom roles have been created and applied to the administrators to limit their permissions, but their access should also be constrained through the principle of least privilege according to the endpoints they are allowed to manage. All endpoints are part of an endpoint group named "Building3," and some endpoints may also be members of other endpoint groups.
Which technical control will restrict the ability of the administrators to manage endpoints outside of their area of responsibility, while maintaining visibility to Building 3's endpoints?
A Cortex XSIAM engineer is implementing role-based access control (RBAC) and scope-based access control (SBAC) for users accessing the Cortex XSIAM tenant with the following requirements:
Users managing machines in Europe should be able to manage and control all endpoints and installations, create profiles and policies, view alerts, and initiate Live Terminal, but only for endpoints in the Europe region.
Users managing machines in Europe should not be able to create, modify, or delete new or existing user roles.
The Europe region endpoints are identified by both of the following:
Endpoint Tag = "Europe-Servers" and Endpoint Group = "Europe" for servers in Europe
Endpoint Group = "Europe" and Endpoint Tag = "Europe-Workstation" for workstations in Europe
Which two sets of implementation actions should the engineer take? (Choose two.)
An application which ingests custom application logs is hosted in an on-premises virtual environment on an Ubuntu server, and it logs locally to a .csv file.
Which set of actions will allow the ingestion of the .csv logs into Cortex XSIAM directly from the server?
An application which ingests custom application logs is hosted in an on-premises virtual environment on an Ubuntu server, and it logs locally to a .csv file.
Which set of actions will allow the ingestion of the .csv logs into Cortex XSIAM directly from the server?
What is the primary benefit of setting the "--memory-swap" option to "-1" during Cortex XSIAM engine deployment?
What is the primary function of the URL "
When activating the Cortex XSIAM tenant, how is the data at rest configured with AES 128 encryption?
A Cortex XSIAM engineer is developing a playbook that uses reputation commands such as '!ip' to enrich and analyze indicators.
Which statement applies to the use of reputation commands in this scenario?
