DRestriction

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B -- Live Terminal.

In Cortex XSIAM, the Live Terminal feature allows analysts to initiate an interactive command-line session with an endpoint directly from the management console. During an investigation, analysts can use Live Terminal to issue commands---including those that terminate suspicious or malicious processes running on the endpoint.

'Live Terminal provides analysts with a direct command line on the endpoint, enabling actions such as process termination during investigations.'

Haha, I'm going with C) Exclusion. That way, the process can't even get in the door to cause any trouble!

I thought it was C) Exclusion too, but there was a similar question about process controls that has me second-guessing.

This seems straightforward to me. The answer is clearly C) Exclusion. That's the feature we learned about that's used to terminate processes during an investigation. I'm confident in that.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Are they asking about a specific feature that's used in investigations, or just any feature that can terminate a process? I'll have to read it over a few times to make sure I understand what they're looking for.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll have to think carefully about the different process termination features and how they might apply in an investigation.
