6. Multiple company assets were reported by vulnerability scanners as being vulnerable to CVE-2017-11882. This vulnerability affects applications installed on workstations. The SOC team needs to take action and apply the new vulnerability patch that was just released. The team must first create a cause for each of the identified assets in ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM), in order to notify the IT department. Next, the team creates a task in the main playbook, which extracts the list of assets from the scanner report.

   After the list of assets are created, what are the two solutions that the SOC team could take so that a case could be created and a patch installed? (Choose two.)

   • Create a sub-playbook with a single input containing the computer names that will loop until the last item from the asset list (Condition: AreValuesEqual – Exit on yes – left:1, right 1) and perform the following tasks:
     – Active Directory User Enrichment based on the computerName
     – Create the ServiceNow Record by adding the enrichment information
     – Mark the ticket severity as Urgent
   • Create a sub-playbook with a single input containing the computer names that will loop ‘For Each Input’ and perform the following tasks:
     – Active Directory User Enrichment based on the computerName
     – Create the ServiceNow Record by adding the enrichment information
     – Mark the ticket severity as Urgent
   • Set a key for storing the iteration number and create a sub-playbook with a single input containing the computer names that will loop until the last item from the asset list (Exit condition: iterator contains the count of the number of items in the list) and perform the following tasks:
     – Active Directory User Enrichment based on the computerName
     – Create the ServiceNow Record by adding the enrichment information
     – Mark the ticket severity as Urgent
   • Set a key for storing the iteration number and create a sub-playbook with a single input containing the computer names that will loop until the last item from the asset list (Exit condition: iterator equal to count of the number of item in the list) and perform the following tasks:
     – Increase the iterator value by one each time
     – Active Directory User Enrichment based on the computerName
     – Create the ServiceNow Record by adding the enrichment information
     – Mark the ticket severity as Urgent

7. When creating a new tab in the layout, which section cannot be added?

   • Retrieve widget chart based on script
   • Related incidents
   • War room entries picked by entry query
   • Incident team members

8. In which two ways can data be transferred between playbooks and sub-playbooks? (Choose two.)

   • Inputs and outputs
   • Through integration context
   • Automatically extracted by sub-playbooks
   • From context data, if context is shared globally

9. By default, which components does an XSOAR implementation include?

   • XSOAR server, XSOAR engine

16. An engineer deployed two different instances of Active Directory for each organization site. As part of account enrichment use case, the engineer would like to delete a user from one specific site.

    Which command will accomplish this?

    • run ‘ad-delete-user’ command with ‘user-dn’ arg and using-brand=“Active Directory Query v2”

    • run ‘ad-delete-user’ command with ‘user-dn’ arg and raw-response=true

    • run ‘ad-delete-user’ command with ‘user-dn’ arg and ignore-outputs=true

    • run ‘ad-delete-user’ command with ‘user-dn’ arg and using=“Active Directory Query v2_instance_1”

17. An engineer is developing a playbook that will be run multiple times for testing purposes.

18. What is the most effective way to correlate multiple raw events coming from a SIEM and link them together?

    • Process all alerts by running the respective playbook and link related incidents during post-processing
    • Ingest all raw events, run a custom script to find the relationship between them and proceed to link them together
    • Configure a pre-process rule to link related events as they are ingested
    • Manually go through the incidents created by the raw events and link related incidents
