A SOC wants to automatically detect a new type of malware that evades signature-based detection. They have a large volume of normalized security data in Cortex XSIAM. Which XSIAM capability is best suited to detect this unknown threat?

Playbook automation for response

Behavioral analytics and machine learning models

Threat intelligence feed ingestion

What is the primary purpose of threat intelligence management in Cortex XSOAR?

To replace the need for a firewall

To ingest, enrich, and manage threat intelligence for proactive defense

To automate all incident response without human input

To provide a backup of security logs

Which statement best describes the primary purpose of Cortex XSOAR?

To discover internet-facing assets and identify exposures

To provide a next-generation firewall for network security

To provide a platform for security orchestration, automation, and response

To collect and normalize security data from various sources

A security team wants to automatically enrich every new incident with up-to-date threat intelligence from multiple external feeds and internal sources, and then automatically block any malicious indicators in the firewall. Which Cortex solution and feature combination best achieves this?

Cortex XSOAR with a case management layout that displays threat intel fields

Cortex XSIAM with a data ingestion pipeline that normalizes threat intel feeds

Cortex XSOAR with threat intelligence management and a playbook that enriches indicators and triggers firewall blocks

Cortex Xpanse with an attack surface monitoring job that detects new exposures

What is the role of automation in Cortex XSIAM's response capabilities?

To automatically execute response actions based on detection results and playbooks

To only generate reports for manual review

To replace all human decision-making in security operations
