Question 2/102/10

Which three are threat hunting activities? (Choose three answers)

Select multiple answer: (Choose 3)Select the answer

3 correct answers

Enrich records with threat intelligence.

Automate workflows.

Generate a hypothesis.

Perform packet analysis.

Tune correlation rules.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From FortiSOAR 7.6., FortiSIEM 7.3 Exact Extract study
guide:
According to the specialized threat hunting modules and frameworks within FortiSOAR 7.6 and the
advanced analytics capabilities of FortiSIEM 7.3, threat hunting is defined as a proactive, human-led
search for threats that have bypassed automated security controls. The three selected activities are
core components of this lifecycle:
Generate a hypothesis (C): This is the fundamental starting point of a "Structured Hunt." Analysts
develop a testable theory—based on recent threat intelligence (such as a new TTP identified by
FortiGuard) or environmental risk—about how an attacker might be operating undetected in the
network.
Enrich records with threat intelligence (A): During the investigation phase, hunters use the Threat
Intelligence Management (TIM) module in FortiSOAR to enrich technical data (IPs, hashes, URLs)
with external context. This helps determine if an anomaly discovered during the hunt is indeed
malicious or part of a known campaign.
Perform packet analysis (D): Since advanced threats often live in the "gaps" between log files,
hunters frequently perform deep-packet or network-flow analysis using FortiSIEM’s query tools or
integrated NDR (Network Detection and Response) data to identify suspicious lateral movement or
C2 (Command and Control) communication patterns that standard alerts might miss.
Why other options are excluded:
Automate workflows (B): While SOAR is designed for automation, the act of "automating" is a
DevOps or SOC engineering task. Threat hunting itself is a proactive investigation; while playbooks
can assist a hunter (e.g., by automating the data gathering), the act of hunting remains a manual or
semi-automated cognitive process.
Tune correlation rules (E): Tuning rules is a reactive maintenance task or a "post-hunt" activity. Once
a threat hunter finds a new attack pattern, they will then tune SIEM correlation rules to ensure that
specific threat is detected automatically in the future. The tuning is the result of the hunt, not the
activity of hunting itself.

How do you add a piece of evidence to the Action Logs Marked As Evidence area? (Choose one
answer)

Select the answer:Select the answer

1 correct answer

By tagging output or a workspace comment with the keyword Evidence

By linking an indicator to the war room

By creating an evidence collection task and attaching a file

By executing a playbook with the Save Execution Logs option enabled

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From FortiSOAR 7.6., FortiSIEM 7.3 Exact Extract study
guide:
In FortiSOAR 7.6, the War Room is a collaborative space designed for high-priority incident
investigation. The Evidences tab within the Investigate view (as shown in the exhibit) is specifically
designed to highlight critical findings found during the investigation process.
Evidence Tagging: To populate the Action Logs Marked As Evidence section, an analyst must
specifically tag a relevant log entry, a playbook output, or a comment within the collaboration
workspace with the system-defined keyword "Evidence".
Automatic Categorization: Once the tag is applied, FortiSOAR automatically parses these entries and
displays them in this centralized view. This allows team members and stakeholders to quickly view
substantiated facts and proof gathered during the "Root Cause Analysis" phase without sifting
through all raw action logs.
Manual vs. Action Logs: The exhibit shows two distinct areas: "Manually Upload Evidences" (where
files like the CSLAB document shown can be dragged and dropped) and "Action Logs Marked As
Evidence." The latter is reserved exclusively for system-generated logs or comments that have been
promoted to evidence status via tagging.
Why other options are incorrect:
By linking an indicator to the war room (B): Linking indicators associates technical artifacts (like IPs or
hashes) with the record, but it does not automatically classify them as evidence within the War
Room action log view.
By creating an evidence collection task and attaching a file (C): While this is a valid step in an
investigation, attaching a file to a task typically places it in the "Attachments" or "Manually Upload
Evidences" area, rather than the "Action Logs" section specifically.
By executing a playbook with the Save Execution Logs option enabled (D): Saving execution logs
ensures a trail of what the playbook did, but it does not mark the output as "Evidence" unless the
specific logic or a manual analyst action applies the "Evidence" tag to the resulting log entry.

You have a playbook that, depending on whether an analyst deems the alert to be a true positive,
could reference a child playbook. You need to pass variables from the parent playbook to the child
playbook.
Place the steps needed to accomplish this in the correct order.

1. Create a parameter in the child playbook.
2. Apply the parameter to the Disable User Account connector action.
3. Map data to the parameter in the Reference a playbook step in the parent playbook.
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From FortiSOAR 7.6., FortiSIEM 7.3 Exact Extract study
guide:
In FortiSOAR 7.6, the methodology for passing data between playbooks—specifically from a parent
to a "Referenced" (child) playbook—follows a strict data flow hierarchy:
Step 1: Create a parameter in the child playbook. Before a parent can send data, the child playbook
must be configured to receive it. This is done by adding "Input Parameters" in the Start step of the
child playbook (configured as a "Referenced" trigger). These parameters act as the "inbox" for
external data.
Step 2: Apply the parameter to the connector action. Once the child playbook has the parameter
defined (e.g., user_id), you must use a Jinja expression like {{vars.input.params.user_id}} within the
child's action steps (such as the Active Directory: Disable User Account connector) so that the child
playbook actually utilizes the data it receives.
Step 3: Map data to the parameter in the parent playbook. Finally, in the parent playbook, when you
add the Reference a Playbook step and select the child playbook, FortiSOAR automatically displays
the parameters created in Step 1. You then map existing variables from the parent's environment
(e.g., from a previous "Search by SamAccountName" step) into these fields to complete the hand-off.
Why other options are excluded:
Create a manual trigger and assign the user to a new variable: While manual triggers capture data,
they are not the mechanism for passing data between nested playbooks; they are for user-to-system
interaction.
Create a parameter in the parent playbook: Parameters in a parent playbook are used to receive data
from outside (like an external API or manual input), not to send data down to a child. The child
defines what it needs; the parent simply provides it in the Reference step.

Which method most effectively reduces the attack surface of this organization? (Choose one answer)

Select the answer:Select the answer

1 correct answer

Forward all firewall logs to the security information and event management (SIEM) system.

Enable deep inspection on firewall policies.

Implement macrosegmentation.

Remove unused devices.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From FortiSOAR 7.6., FortiSIEM 7.3 Exact Extract study
guide:
In the context of the Attack Surface Management modules within the FortiSIEM 7.3 and FortiSOAR
7.6 security frameworks, "reducing the attack surface" refers to the process of minimizing the
number of possible entry points (attack vectors) that an unauthorized user could exploit.
Definition of Attack Surface: The attack surface consists of all the different points where an attacker
could try to enter data to or extract data from an environment. This includes hardware, software,
SaaS components, and network interfaces.
Effectiveness of Asset Removal: Removing unused devices, services, or software is the most
fundamental and effective way to reduce the attack surface. By decommissioning an unused server
or workstation (as shown in the LAN/Server diagram), you completely eliminate all potential
vulnerabilities associated with that asset, its operating system, and its active services.
Contrast with other methods:
Forwarding logs (A) and Deep Inspection (B) are detective and preventive controls, respectively. They
help manage the risk within the existing attack surface but do not actually shrink the size of the
surface itself.
Macrosegmentation (C) limits the "blast radius" or lateral movement after a compromise has
occurred. While it secures the interior, it does not remove the initial entry points that define the
external attack surface.
Why other options are incorrect:
Forwarding logs (A): This increases visibility but does not remove potential vulnerabilities.
Deep Inspection (B): This is a security measure to detect threats within existing traffic but does not
eliminate the target (the device) itself.
Implement macrosegmentation (C): While highly recommended for security, it is a network
architecture strategy to contain threats, whereas the prompt asks for the most effective method to
reduce the surface. Removing the asset entirely (D) is the most absolute reduction possible.
