   An analyst at a financial services firm receives an alert about a suspicious file hash that was observed in an email attachment. The file was not executed by any endpoint. The analyst runs the hash through XSIAM's artifact validation, which confirms the file is a known benign installer, but the reputation service shows a low score because the file is rarely seen in the wild. The verdict engine has not yet assigned a final verdict. What should the analyst do next?

   • AWait for the verdict engine to assign a final verdict before taking any action, since the reputation score is low.
   • BClose the alert as a false positive, relying on the artifact validation result that confirms the file is a known benign installer.
   • CQuarantine the file across all endpoints because the low reputation score suggests it could be a zero-day threat.
   • DEscalate the artifact to a high-priority incident because the low reputation score indicates a potential threat.
