Question #: 32
Topic #: 17

Camden, a network specialist in an organization, monitored the behavior of the organizational network using SIFM from a control room. The SIEM detected suspicious activity and sent an alert to the camer

a. Based on the severity of the incident displayed on the screen, Camden made the correct decision and immediately launched defensive actions to prevent further exploitation by attackers.

Which of the following SIEM functions allowed Camden to view suspicious behavior and make correct decisions during a security incident?

AApplication log monitoring

BLog Retention

CDashboard

DData aggregation

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The IP address of the attacker is 10.10.1.16. This can be verified by analyzing the Windows.events.evtx file using a tool such as Event Viewer or Log Parser. The file contains several Audit Failure logs with event ID 4625, which indicate failed logon attempts to the system. The logs show that the source network address of the failed logon attempts is 10.10.1.16, which is the IP address of the attacker3. The screenshot below shows an example of viewing one of the logs using Event Viewer4: Reference: Audit Failure Log, [Windows.events.evtx], [Screenshot of Event Viewer showing Audit Failure log]

Wait, can a Dashboard really show all that? Seems too good to be true.

I agree with Rosendo about the dashboard, but I also wonder if application log monitoring could play a role in identifying specific threats.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like log retention might be more about storing data rather than viewing it in real-time.

This is a good test of my understanding of SIEM systems. I'll need to think through the different functions and how they contribute to incident detection and response.

D. HP products and solutions create customer demand seems like the best answer here. The R&D investment is likely aimed at developing new or enhanced products that resellers can then sell to their customers.

Okay, let's see. I'm pretty sure it's not just looking at the current table or field, so I'll rule out A and B. Now I need to decide if it's from most specific to most generic or vice versa.

Okay, I've got it. The key is to focus on the attributes that would allow you to override the default client behavior. Based on the options provided, I'd say the DSCP value and multicast address are the two attributes you'd need to use.

Wow, these SIEM questions are really keeping us on our toes, aren't they? I'm going to go with C) Dashboard as well. Camden needs a way to visualize and interact with all that data, and a dashboard is the way to go. Gotta love those big, colorful screens!

I'm going with B) Log Retention. If the SIEM didn't have the capability to store and retain logs, how would it have been able to detect the suspicious activity in the first place? Gotta keep those logs, my friends!

Ha! Classic SIEM question. I bet the answer is C) Dashboard. I mean, how else would Camden have been able to view the suspicious behavior and make decisions based on the severity of the incident? This is a no-brainer.
