A security analyst is reviewing alerts and incidents associated with internal vulnerability scanning performed by the security operations team.
Which built-in incident domain will be assigned to these alerts and incidents in Cortex XSIAM?
An analyst conducting a threat hunt needs to collect multiple files from various endpoints. The analyst begins the file retrieval process by using the Action Center, but upon review of the retrieved files, notices that the list is incomplete and missing files, including kernel files.
What could be the reason for the issue?
SCENARIO:
A security analyst has been assigned a ticket from the help desk stating that users are experiencing errors when attempting to open files on a specific network share. These errors state that the file format cannot be opened. IT has verified that the file server is online and functioning, but that all files have unusual extensions attached to them.
The security analyst reviews alerts within Cortex XSIAM and identifies malicious activity related to a possible ransomware attack on the file server. This incident is then escalated to the incident response team for further investigation.
Upon reviewing the incident, the responders confirm that ransomware was successfully executed on the file server. Other details of the attack are noted below:
• An unpatched vulnerability on an externally facing web server was exploited for initial access
• The attackers successfully used Mimikatz to dump sensitive credentials that were used for privilege escalation
• PowerShell was used on a Windows server for additional discovery, as well as lateral movement to other systems
• The attackers executed SystemBC RAT on multiple systems to maintain remote access
• Ransomware payload was downloaded on the file server via an external site "file io"
QUESTION STATEMENT:
The incident responders are attempting to determine why Mimikatz was able to successfully run during the attack.
Which exploit protection profile in Cortex XSIAM should be reviewed to ensure it is configured with an Action Mode of Block?

QUESTION STATEMENT:
Which forensics artifact collected by Cortex XSIAM will help the responders identify what the attackers were looking for during the discovery phase of the attack?
While investigating an alert, an analyst notices that a URL indicator has a related alert from a previous incident. The related alert has the same URL but it resolved to a different IP address.
Which combination of two actions should the analyst take to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)
A Cortex XSIAM analyst is reading a blog that references an unfamiliar critical zero-day vulnerability. This vulnerability has been weaponized, and there is evidence that it is being exploited by threat actors targeting a customer's industry. Where can the analyst go within Cortex XSIAM to learn more about this vulnerability and any potential impacts on the customer environment?
During an investigation of an alert with a completed playbook, it is determined that no indicators exist from the email "indicator@test.com" in the Key Assets & Artifacts tab of the parent incident. Which command will determine if Cortex XSIAM has been configured to extract indicators as expected?
A SOC team member implements an incident starring configuration, but incidents created before this configuration were not starred.
What is the cause of this behavior?
Which two methods can be used to create and share queries into the Query Library? (Choose two.)
