   A company's security team uses a ticketing system for incident tracking and a separate threat intelligence platform (TIP) for IOC management. Currently, when an incident is closed, analysts must manually update the TIP with any new IOCs discovered. This process is often forgotten. Which integration would most reliably address this issue?

   • ARequire analysts to attach a screenshot of the TIP update to the closed ticket.
   • BConfigure an automated workflow that extracts IOCs from closed incident tickets and pushes them to the TIP.
   • CCreate a monthly reminder for analysts to review closed tickets and update the TIP.
   • DStop tracking IOCs in the TIP and only keep them in the ticketing system.

   A security operations center (SOC) has two shifts that handle phishing alerts differently: the day shift manually quarantines emails using the email gateway console, while the night shift uses an automated playbook that blocks the sender and alerts the user. Management wants consistent handling regardless of shift. Which approach best achieves this while minimizing disruption to current workflows?

   • ADocument the day shift's manual process as the standard and require the night shift to adopt it.
   • BAllow each shift to continue its current method but require both to log their actions in the same ticketing system.
   • CCreate a single documented runbook that defines the automated playbook as the standard, and train both shifts on it.
   • DAsk the email gateway vendor to provide a default configuration that both shifts can use.
