Question #: 61
Topic #: 1
Following the principle of least privilege, which is the appropriate role to grant a Falcon Next-Gen SIEM user the permissions to read case data and write XDR data while denying the permission to write case templates?
Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer
The best answer is C. NG SIEM Analyst .
I need to be careful here: I did not find a public CrowdStrike permissions matrix that explicitly lists this exact combination of rights by role. So this answer is the best-supported least-privilege inference , not one I can claim is directly documented 100%.
Why C is the strongest choice:
* NG SIEM Analyst - Read Only would not fit because the question requires write XDR data permissions.
* NGSIEM Administrator and NG SIEM Security Lead are broader roles and would not satisfy least privilege if a narrower analyst role can do the job.
* That leaves NG SIEM Analyst as the most plausible least-privilege built-in role for reading case data and writing XDR data while not granting broader administrative capabilities. CrowdStrike's Next-Gen SIEM materials describe the platform as combining centralized case management and XDR workflows, but the public pages I found do not expose the exact internal role matrix.
