Under which conditions is Local Analysis evoked to evaluate a file before the file is allowed to run?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Local Analysis is a feature of Cortex XDR that allows the agent to evaluate files locally on the endpoint, without sending them to WildFire for analysis. Local Analysis is evoked when the following conditions are met:

The endpoint isdisconnectedfrom the internet or the Cortex XDR management console, and therefore cannot communicate with WildFire.

The verdict from WildFire is of a typeunknown, meaning that WildFire has not yet analyzed the file or has not reached a conclusive verdict.

Local Analysis uses machine learning models to assess the behavior and characteristics of the file and assign it a verdict of either benign, malware, or grayware. If the verdict is malware or grayware, the agent will block the file from running and report it to the Cortex XDR management console. If the verdict is benign, the agent will allow the file to run and report it to the Cortex XDR management console.Reference:

This is a tricky one. I'm not totally familiar with the concept of Local Analysis, so I'll need to think carefully about the relationship between the endpoint and the WildFire verdict.

Ah, I see. Personalization Strings could still expose PII, so that's definitely a consideration. And the service level agreement point is an important one too, given the use of outside servers.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think through the implications of the service having its own identity store versus a shared one. There could be some tradeoffs to consider.

I think statement II makes sense because the estate would get liquidity from selling the shares, but I need to recall if they really would have 300 shares outstanding in total.
