   A Splunk admin is working in an environment with both Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) and Splunk Security Essentials (SSE) installed. They need to create a new correlation search that will generate notable events for a specific threat. The admin wants to use a pre-built macro to help with time-based bucketing and also wants to ensure the search is properly integrated with ES's incident management. Which statement correctly describes the appropriate use of resources from these two apps?

   • AUse the 'risk' macros from ES for the search logic, and then save the search as a saved search in SSE to generate notable events.
   • BUse the 'datamodel' macros from SSE to accelerate the search, and then save the search as a data model in ES.
   • CUse the 'security_content' macros from SSE for the search logic, and then save the search as a correlation search in ES to generate notable events.
   • DUse the 'lookup' macros from ES for the search logic, and then save the search as a correlation search in SSE.

   A small security team uses Splunk Cloud but does not have a paid license for Splunk Enterprise Security. They want to start building detection content and need pre-written SPL searches and macros to accelerate their work. Which resource should they use?

   • AThe 'Splunk Common Information Model (CIM)' add-on, which contains pre-built macros and lookups.
   • BThe 'Splunk Enterprise Security' app, which includes a full suite of correlation searches and data models.
   • CThe 'Splunk Security Essentials' app, which provides a library of searches, macros, and lookups.
   • DThe 'Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit', which includes pre-built SPL for anomaly detection.

   A Splunk admin is optimizing a correlation search in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES). The search currently runs against raw index data and is slow. The admin wants to use a pre-built ES data model to accelerate the search. However, the data model is not yet accelerated. What is the most efficient first step for the admin to take?

   • AReplace the data model with a macro that contains the raw search logic.
   • BUse the 'datamodel' command in the search to dynamically generate the data model's fields.
   • CRewrite the search to use the 'tstats' command directly against the data model's underlying index.
   • DEnable acceleration on the relevant data model in ES and wait for the acceleration summary to build.

   A Splunk administrator is deciding whether to use Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) or Splunk Security Essentials (SSE) for a new security monitoring project. Which statement correctly differentiates the SPL resources provided by ES versus SSE?

   • ABoth ES and SSE provide identical SPL resources with no differences.
   • BES provides correlation searches and data models, while SSE provides a library of searches, macros, and lookups for security use cases.
   • CES provides only macros, while SSE provides only saved searches.
   • DSSE provides correlation searches and data models, while ES provides only lookups.
