What is the first step in creating a playbook in Cortex XSIAM?

Installing a content pack that contains the playbook

Writing the final report for the playbook's results

Testing the playbook on live traffic

Defining the trigger conditions that will start the playbook

A security analyst is investigating an incident where a user clicked a malicious link. The firewall log shows the connection, the endpoint log shows the download, and the cloud access log shows the file upload. The analyst wants to see these events in a single timeline. What does Cortex XSIAM use to achieve this?

Sensor integration that combines all logs into one data stream.

A playbook that merges the logs into a single view.

Log stitching, which correlates the events using common attributes like user and IP.

A content pack that provides a unified dashboard for all logs.

A company uses Cortex XSIAM to monitor its network traffic, endpoints, and AWS cloud environment. Which set of sensor types would be used to collect data from these three environments?

Perimeter sensor, internal sensor, and external sensor

Network sensor, endpoint sensor, and cloud sensor

Log sensor, alert sensor, and event sensor

Firewall sensor, server sensor, and database sensor

What is the result of the log stitching process in Cortex XSIAM?

A single incident timeline that combines related events from multiple sources

A list of all IP addresses that were blocked during the incident

A summary report that is emailed to the security team

A compressed log file that contains only the most critical events

Which of the following is an example of content that might be included in a content pack?

A pre-built playbook that automates phishing response

A list of all user passwords in the organization

A network diagram of the organization's infrastructure
