Question #1 (Topic: Demo Questions)

When Cortex XDR agents are on servers in a zone with no internet access, which configuration will keep them communicating with the platform?

Logging service in the isolated zone

Broker VM

Integration using filebeat

Engine

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

For Cortex XDR agents running on servers in zones without internet access, a Broker VM is used as a communication bridge. The Broker VM securely relays traffic between the isolated agents and the Cortex platform, maintaining connectivity without requiring direct internet access from the servers.

Question #2 (Topic: Demo Questions)

Which option should be used when customizing a dashboard in Cortex XSIAM to include a widget that will display data filtered by more than one dynamic value?

Free text/number

Multi-select

Fixed filter

Single-select

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The Multi-select option allows a dashboard widget in Cortex XSIAM to be filtered by more than one dynamic value, enabling flexible data exploration and visualization across multiple selected criteria.

Question #3 (Topic: Demo Questions)

Which common issue can result in sudden data ingestion loss for a data source that was previously successful?

Data source is using an unsupported data format.

Data source has reached its maximum storage capacity.

Data source has reached its end of life for support.

API key used for the integration has expired.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

A sudden data ingestion loss for a previously successful data source commonly occurs when the API key used for the integration has expired, breaking authentication and preventing further log collection.

Question #4 (Topic: Demo Questions)

How will Cortex XSIAM help with raw log ingestion from third-party sources in an existing infrastructure?

Any structured logs coming into it are left completely unchanged, and only metadata is added to the raw data.

Forstructured logs, like CEF, LEEF, and JSON, it decouples the key-value pairs and savesthem in table format.

Any unstructured logs coming into it are left completely unchanged, and metadata is not added to the raw data.

For unstructured logs, it decouplesthe key-value pairs and saves them in a table format.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Cortex XSIAM ingests structured third-party logs (such as CEF, LEEF, and JSON) by breaking down the key-value pairs and saving them in a normalized table format. This enables efficient correlation, analytics, and query performance across diverse log sources while preserving data fidelity.

Question #5 (Topic: Demo Questions)

What is the reason all Broker VM options are greyed out when a user attempts to select a Broker VM as a download source in the Agent Settings profile?

The Broker VM is offline.

NTP is not synchronized properly on the Broker VM.

Local Agent Setting applet is currently activated without SSL certificate.

Local Agent Setting applet is currently activated without FQDN.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

Broker VM options appear greyed out in the Agent Settings profile when the Local Agent Settings applet is activated without an FQDN. An FQDN is required for agents to resolve and connect to the Broker VM as a download source.
