What is the primary goal of a SOAR platform in incident response?

To automate and orchestrate incident response workflows to improve efficiency

To replace the need for human analysts

To provide a platform for sharing threat intelligence only

To monitor network traffic in real time

What is the trade-off when configuring FIM scan schedules?

More frequent scans improve detection timeliness but increase system load.

Scan frequency has no impact on system performance.

Frequent scans always cause system crashes.

Less frequent scans improve detection timeliness but reduce system load.

A security administrator is configuring file integrity monitoring (FIM) on a web server. The administrator wants to receive immediate notifications when critical system files are modified, but does not want to be alerted about routine log file changes. What should the administrator configure?

Enable FIM on critical system files and configure alerts to be sent in real-time for modifications, while excluding log files from monitoring.

Enable FIM only on log files and configure alerts for any changes.

Disable FIM alerts and rely on manual checks of file integrity.

Enable FIM on all files and configure alerts to be sent in a daily summary report.

Which type of data is commonly aggregated and shared by a Threat Intelligence Platform to enhance detection?

Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) such as malicious IP addresses and hashes

What is a common indicator of MAC address spoofing on a network?

Multiple devices on the network using the same MAC address

Large number of open TCP connections
