Which action improves the effectiveness of notable events in Enterprise Security?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Notable events in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) are triggered by correlation searches, which generate alerts when suspicious activity is detected. However, if too many false positives occur, analysts waste time investigating non-issues, reducing SOC efficiency.

How to Improve Notable Events Effectiveness:

Apply suppression rules to filter out known false positives and reduce alert fatigue.

Refine correlation searches by adjusting thresholds and tuning event detection logic.

Leverage risk-based alerting (RBA) to prioritize high-risk events.

Use adaptive response actions to enrich events dynamically.

By suppressing false positives, SOC analysts focus on real threats, making notable events more actionable. Thus, the correct answer is A. Applying suppression rules for false positives.

Using only raw log data in searches feels like it could lead to missing important context, so I doubt that's the best option here.

Disabling scheduled searches seems counterintuitive, but I can't recall why that would be a good idea in this context.

I remember a practice question where we discussed the importance of refining searches, so limiting the search scope to one index could be a good strategy too.

Disabling scheduled searches? That doesn't sound right at all. I'm pretty confident the answer is applying suppression rules to improve the effectiveness of security events.

Haha, disabling scheduled searches? That's like trying to improve your security by turning off the alarm system. Definitely not the right answer here.
