A security analyst needs to investigate a potential breach by searching through firewall logs. The logs have already been sent to Splunk and are being indexed. What must the analyst do to find relevant events?

Re-ingest the logs to ensure they are searchable.

Manually review the raw log files on the firewall.

Run a search on the search head to query the indexed data.

Install a forwarder on the analyst's workstation.

In which of the following areas is Splunk commonly used for security monitoring?

Managing firewall rules and access control lists

Performing vulnerability scans on endpoints

Analyzing network traffic and system logs to detect potential security threats

Encrypting data at rest and in transit

A Splunk environment has multiple indexers and search heads. A user wants to run a search that spans data stored on all indexers. What should the user do?

Run the search from any search head, and it will automatically query all indexers.

Configure a forwarder to send data to a single indexer before searching.

Run the search directly on each indexer individually.

Use a deployment server to consolidate the data.
