I thought all these were auto-configured, that's surprising!

Josephine 11 months ago

Wait, are you serious? D isn't on by default?

Francine 11 months ago

C definitely needs manual config, no doubt about it.

Stephaine 11 months ago

I think B is also off by default, right?

Alyce 11 months ago

A is not enabled by default, gotta set it up!

Carman 12 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the differences between the options, but I think certificate authentication between forwarders and indexers is definitely something we had to configure explicitly.

Elizabeth 12 months ago

For some reason, I feel like data encryption for distributed search is something we had to set up manually in the lab.

Detra 12 months ago

I remember practicing a question about certificate authentication, and I think that one is also not enabled by default.

Carmela 1 year ago

I think data encryption between Splunk Web and splunkd might need to be configured, but I'm not entirely sure.

Noel 1 year ago

I've got this! The answer is C. Certificate authentication between Splunk Web and the search head needs to be explicitly set up, while the other options are automatically enabled. Feeling confident about this one.

Rachael 1 year ago

Okay, let me see. I remember from the security training that data encryption between Splunk Web and splunkd is enabled by default, so that's not the right answer. I think the key is figuring out which security options require explicit configuration.

Felix 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know encryption and authentication are important security features, but I'm not sure which ones are default versus needing configuration. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Yan 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. Certificate authentication between forwarders and indexers needs to be explicitly configured, while the other options are enabled by default.

Flo 1 year ago

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the VPLS topology and how the SDP failure would impact reachability.

I think the key here is to export the Language Understanding model as an .lu file. That seems like the most straightforward way to translate it locally using the Bot Framework CLI.

Wait, so Splunk doesn't just lock everything down by default? I thought this was the NSA's favorite tool or something.

Encryption for distributed search? Now that's a no-brainer, can't have my data running around unprotected!

Certificate authentication between Splunk Web and search head? Sounds like a headache, but better safe than sorry!

Vallie 1 year ago

↳ replying to Salina

Definitely, especially when it comes to ensuring secure communication between Splunk Web and the search head.

I agree, better to be safe than sorry when it comes to protecting sensitive data.

It can be a headache to set up, but it's worth it for the added security.

Verdell 1 year ago

Certificate authentication between forwarders and indexers, huh? Gotta love those extra security layers, even if they're not automatic.

↳ replying to Verdell

Definitely, better safe than sorry when it comes to securing sensitive information.

↳ replying to Verdell

I agree, it's always better to explicitly configure security options to ensure data protection.

Kristeen 1 year ago

↳ replying to Verdell

Yeah, it's important to have that extra layer of security with certificate authentication.

Brittney 1 year ago

I believe the answer is C) Certificate authentication between Splunk Web and search head, as it also needs to be explicitly configured for added security.

An 1 year ago

Data encryption between Splunk Web and splunkd? Definitely not the default, that's a must-configure option!

I agree with Frank, because data encryption between Splunk Web and splunkd is not enabled by default for security reasons.

Frank 1 year ago

I think the answer is A) Data encryption between Splunk Web and splunkd.

Javier 2 years ago

I believe option D is also not enabled by default. Data encryption for distributed search between search heads and indexers must be explicitly configured.

Frederick 2 years ago

I agree with Ben. Option C also needs to be explicitly configured for certificate authentication between Splunk Web and search head.

Ben 2 years ago

I think option B must be explicitly configured because certificate authentication is not enabled by default.
