Topic #: 5
Which Splunk feature helps in tracking and documenting threat trends over time?
Why Use Risk-Based Dashboards for Tracking Threat Trends?
Risk-based dashboards in Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) provide a structured way to track threats over time.
How Risk-Based Dashboards Help: Aggregate security events into risk scores Helps prioritize high-risk activities. Show historical trends of threat activity. Correlate multiple risk factors across different security events.
Example in Splunk ES: Scenario: A SOC team tracks insider threat activity over 6 months. The Risk-Based Dashboard shows:
Users with rising risk scores over time.
Patterns of malicious behavior (e.g., repeated failed logins + data exfiltration).
Correlation between different security alerts (e.g., phishing clicks malware execution).
Why Not the Other Options?
A. Event sampling -- Helps with performance optimization, not threat trend tracking. C. Summary indexing -- Stores precomputed data but is not designed for tracking risk trends. D. Data model acceleration -- Improves search speed, but doesn't track security trends.
