Why is it important for case handling to comply with organizational policies and regulations?

To increase case resolution speed

To ensure legal and regulatory requirements are met

An analyst receives a case about a suspicious domain. To make a better triage decision, they need to know if the domain is associated with any known threat actor or campaign. The company has a threat intelligence platform (TIP). What is the most efficient way to bring this context into the case?

Ignore the TIP and make the decision based on the domain name alone.

Configure a playbook that runs on case creation, queries the TIP for the domain, and adds the reputation data as a case artifact or note.

Have the analyst open a browser, search the TIP manually, and copy the results into a case note.

Ask the threat intelligence team to email the analyst with any relevant information.

A SOC manager wants to create a report that shows the average time to close cases, broken down by the analyst who closed them. They also want to see the trend over the last 6 months. The data is in Splunk SOAR. What is the most efficient way to build this report?

Create a custom search in Splunk Enterprise that queries the SOAR data directly.

Export all case data to a CSV and use a pivot table in a spreadsheet application.

Ask each analyst to provide their own average close time and compile the numbers.

Use the built-in reporting features to create a report that groups by closing analyst and shows the average time to close, with a time range of 6 months.
