   How does data normalization aid threat hunting?

   • ABy encrypting data to prevent tampering
   • BBy providing a unified view of data that allows analysts to search across multiple sources efficiently

   A Splunk architect is integrating a new antivirus product into an existing security monitoring environment. The SOC wants to correlate antivirus detections with endpoint activity from a separate EDR tool. The architect decides to map the antivirus data to the Splunk CIM. What is the primary benefit of this mapping for the SOC?

   • AIt automatically creates alerts for every antivirus detection without additional configuration.
   • BIt ensures that the antivirus data is stored in the same index as the EDR data.
   • CIt allows the SOC to use the same field names and data models for both antivirus and EDR events, enabling consistent correlation searches.
   • DIt guarantees that the antivirus vendor's data is free of false positives.
