Question 21

What methods enhance risk-based detection in Splunk?(Choosetwo)

A.Defining accurate risk modifiers
B.Limiting the number of correlation searches
C.Using summary indexing for raw events
D.Enriching risk objects with contextual data

Question 22

A Splunk administrator needs to integrate a third-party vulnerability management tool to automate remediation workflows.
Whatis the most efficient first step?

A.Set up a manual alerting system for vulnerabilities
B.Use REST APIs to integrate the third-party tool with Splunk SOAR
C.Write a correlation search for each vulnerability type
D.Configure custom dashboards to monitor vulnerabilities

Correct Answer: B

Why Use REST APIs for Integration?
When integrating a third-party vulnerability management tool (e.g., Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7) with Splunk SOAR, using REST APIs is the most efficient and scalable approach.
#Why REST APIs?
APIs enable direct communication between Splunk SOAR and the third-party tool.
Allows automated ingestion of vulnerability data into Splunk.
Supports automated remediation workflows (e.g., patch deployment, firewall rule updates).
Reduces manual work by allowing Splunk SOAR to pull real-time data from the vulnerability tool.
Steps to Integrate a Third-Party Vulnerability Tool with Splunk SOAR Using REST API:
1##Obtain API Credentials - Get API keys or authentication tokens from the vulnerability management tool.
2##Configure REST API Integration - Use Splunk SOAR's built-in API connectors or create a custom REST API call.3##Ingest Vulnerability Data into Splunk - Map API responses to Splunk ES correlation searches.
4##Automate Remediation Playbooks - Build Splunk SOAR playbooks to:
Automatically open tickets for critical vulnerabilities.
Trigger patches or firewall rules for high-risk vulnerabilities.
Notify SOC analysts when a high-risk vulnerability is detected on a critical asset.
Example Use Case in Splunk SOAR:
#Scenario: The company uses Tenable.io for vulnerability management.#Splunk SOAR connects to Tenable's API and pulls vulnerability scan results.#If a critical vulnerability is found on a production server, Splunk SOAR:
Automatically creates a ServiceNow ticket for remediation.
Triggers a patching script to fix the vulnerability.
Updates Splunk ES dashboards for tracking.
Why Not the Other Options?
#A. Set up a manual alerting system for vulnerabilities - Manual alerting is inefficient and doesn't scale well.
#C. Write a correlation search for each vulnerability type - This would create too many rules; API integration allows real-time updates from the vulnerability tool.#D. Configure custom dashboards to monitor vulnerabilities - Dashboards provide visibility but don't automate remediation.
