A security team is deploying indicator rules for a new threat intelligence feed. The feed contains both known malicious IPs and domains. The team wants to block traffic to the IPs but only alert on the domains, because the domains are shared infrastructure and blocking them could cause business disruption. What is the most efficient way to configure this?

Create a single rule with both IPs and domains and set the action to 'Deny'

Create a single rule with both IPs and domains and set the action to 'Alert'

Create two separate rules: one prevention rule for IPs and one detection rule for domains

Create a prevention rule for domains and a detection rule for IPs

An analyst is creating a new indicator rule and needs to specify the indicator value. The analyst has a list of malicious IP addresses. What is the correct way to add these to the rule?

Add all IP addresses as a list in the indicator field

Add each IP address as a separate rule

Use a regex pattern to match all IPs

Add the IPs to a threat intelligence feed and reference the feed

Which statement accurately describes the role of detection indicator rules in XSIAM?

They generate alerts or logs when matching indicators are observed

They block traffic from known malicious IP addresses

They update threat intelligence feeds automatically

They automatically quarantine infected endpoints

An organization is migrating from a legacy IDS to XSIAM. The security team wants to replicate their existing detection rules, which generate alerts for suspicious domains but do not block traffic. They also want to add a new prevention rule for a known malicious IP. What is the correct way to configure these in XSIAM?

Create a detection rule for the domains with an 'Alert' action and a prevention rule for the IP with a 'Deny' action

Create a single rule for both domains and the IP with an 'Alert' action

Create a single rule for both domains and the IP with a 'Deny' action

Create a prevention rule for the domains and a detection rule for the IP

An organization wants to detect any outbound connection to a specific IP address that is known to be a command-and-control server. The analyst needs to create an indicator rule that matches the exact IP address. Which indicator type and matching condition should be used?

IP indicator with a 'contains' match condition

IP indicator with an exact match condition

Hash indicator with a fuzzy match condition

Domain indicator with a substring match condition
