Question #: 30
Topic #: 3
An XSIAM engineer needs to create a new correlation rule that detects 'Suspicious Access to Sensitive Data by a User from a Previously Unseen IP Address'. This rule must consider that 'sensitive data' can be defined by various file paths, SharePoint sites, or database names. Additionally, the 'previously unseen IP address' needs to be determined dynamically for each user over a trailing 30-day period. Which XSIAM correlation rule features are essential to implement this detection with high fidelity?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
Option B is the most effective approach. 'Contextual Lookups' allow for flexible and dynamic definition of 'sensitive data' without hardcoding it into the rule. XSIAM's 'Behavioral Baselines' or 'Analytics Profiles' are designed precisely for tracking normal user behavior, including login IP addresses, and detecting deviations, which is crucial for identifying 'previously unseen IP addresses' dynamically. This combination provides high fidelity for the described scenario. Option A is static and won't adapt. Option C is unscalable. Options D and E are detrimental to security.
