A security team wants to run a search that uses the CIM 'Network' data model to investigate DNS traffic. They have enabled the relevant event types and tags. What is the primary benefit of using the data model instead of searching the raw index directly?

It automatically creates visualizations for the search results

It provides a normalized, structured view of the data, making searches faster and more consistent

It eliminates the need for field extractions

It automatically enriches the data with threat intelligence

What is the primary purpose of the event types included in the Splunk CIM Add-On?

To enrich data with external information

To categorize data into logical groups for CIM data model mapping

To define the structure of CIM data models

To extract fields from raw data

Modify the event type to include the vendor's field name

Use a lookup to translate the vendor's field name to 'dest'

Use the CIM Add-On's field extraction to map the vendor's field to the CIM standard 'dest' field

Create a new data model that includes the vendor's field name

What is the purpose of the field extractions included in the CIM Add-On?
