What is the main benefit of integrating case management with Splunk SOAR?

Orchestrating response actions directly from a case

Replacing the need for case notes

Eliminating the need for analysts

Automatically closing all cases

A company uses Splunk SOAR for case management. When a case is created for a confirmed malware infection, the team wants to automatically block the malicious IP address on the firewall and add the hash to the threat intelligence platform. What is the recommended approach?

Set up a scheduled search that looks for new cases and sends an email to the firewall administrator.

Add a note to the case with instructions for the analyst to follow.

Manually copy the IP and hash from the case and perform the actions in the firewall and TIP consoles.

Create a playbook that is triggered by the case creation and contains actions to block the IP on the firewall and add the hash to the TIP.

In Splunk case management, what does assigning a case to an analyst accomplish?

It defines the stages the case will go through

It enriches the case with threat intelligence

It establishes accountability for the case

It automatically closes the case

What is the purpose of enriching a case with threat intelligence in Splunk?

To generate a compliance report

To provide additional context for investigation

To automatically resolve the case

A SOC wants to standardize how cases move through their lifecycle. They have defined stages: New, Triage, Investigation, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Closed. The team wants to ensure that a case cannot be closed without going through the 'Containment' stage. What is the best way to enforce this in Splunk SOAR?

Create a playbook that checks the case status and prevents closure if the 'Containment' stage was never recorded.

Add a note to the case template reminding analysts to complete all stages before closing.

Create a report that shows cases closed without a 'Containment' stage and review it monthly.

Rely on the case status field to be manually set to 'Containment' before 'Closed'.
