Wait, is notifying customers really an option? That seems odd.

C makes the most sense, but I’m surprised it’s not more obvious.

No way, it's A! You can't analyze without a diagram.

It's definitely C, you need management approval first!

Scheduling the test seems important, but I think it comes after getting approval. I’d go with option C for the first step.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like notifying customers is not the first step. It seems more like a later consideration.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember something about analyzing the network diagram first, but maybe that comes later?

I think the first step is definitely getting management approval. Without that, the whole test could be a problem, right?

Okay, I've got this. The original subscription was $600 per unit for 10 units over 24 months. After 10 months, they want to issue a prorated refund and quote a new, more expensive subscription. The question is asking for the expected net total of the amended subscription. I'll need to do some calculations, but I think I can figure this out.

I've used the Demisto War Room CLI before, and I'm pretty sure the correct answer is B, /invite Bob. That's the standard command for inviting a user to join an investigation.

Okay, I've got this. The change log is the input that's used to document changes during the Manage Stakeholder Engagement process. Remembering the different inputs and outputs is key for these types of questions.

Hold up, is this a trick question? The FIRST step is always making sure you have the right snacks for the long haul.

Scheduling during low impact? Nah, real pentesters do it during the busiest time. More drama that way!

Notifying customers? That's just asking for trouble. Better keep this one under wraps until I'm done.
