Exam C1000-162 Topic 2 Question 10 Discussion

Actual exam question for IBM's C1000-162 exam
Question #: 10
Topic #: 2
A new log source was configured to send events to QRadar to help detect a malware outbreak. A security analyst has to create an offense based on properties from this payload but not all the information is parsed correctly.
What is the sequence of steps to ensure that the correct information is pulled from the payload to use in a rule?

Suggested Answer:


Explanation:
* Identify a value from the event payload that will be used as the basis for this threat detection. You must first determine the specific piece of information within the log payload that signals the malware outbreak activity you want to detect.
* Create a custom property to extract the value from the logs. QRadar needs a custom property to isolate this specific value from the raw log data in a structured way.
* Ensure the custom property is optimized and enabled. Optimize the custom property's extraction method for accuracy and efficiency. Ensure it's enabled, so QRadar actively parses this data element.
* Create and Configure a rule to create an offense that uses the custom property as the offense index field. Now that the custom property is ready, create a rule that references this property. Designate the custom property as the rule's offense index field to ensure offenses are correctly grouped based on the extracted malware indicator.
