CCNP Security 300-710 SNCF Practice Test 24

Correct Answer: Intrusion events
Explanation: Intrusion events record signature-match detail including the fired rule and classification, which is distinct from connection events, health events, audit log events, NAT translation events, or platform settings change events, none of which capture intrusion signature detail specifically.

Correct Answer: Malware/file events
Explanation: Malware/file events record file disposition (clean, malware, unknown) from file policy inspection, which is distinct from health events, identity events, platform settings change events, NAT translation events, or DNS policy events, none of which record file disposition.

Correct Answer: The impact flag (impact level/classification assigned to the event)
Explanation: The impact flag indicates the assessed severity/business impact of a detected event, which is distinct from an administrator's login timestamp, device uptime, the interface color theme, unrelated SSH session counts, or a building floor number.

Correct Answer: Impact flag correlation using host attribute data from network discovery
Explanation: Impact flag correlation uses discovered host attributes (OS, applications) to assess whether an intrusion event is actually relevant to the targeted host, which is distinct from a NAT rule, a platform settings banner, an identity policy realm, a QoS traffic class, or a health policy email template.

Correct Answer: Clean
Explanation: A Clean disposition indicates no known malicious characteristics were found, unlike Malware (malicious characteristics found), Custom Detection (matched an admin-defined list), Unknown (undetermined), Unavailable (lookup failed), or Blocked List (matched a manual deny list).

Correct Answer: Prioritizing investigation and remediation of that host, given the strong correlation between the exploit attempt and a known vulnerability on the target
Explanation: A high-impact event strongly correlated with a known host vulnerability warrants prioritized investigation and remediation, unlike assuming it's a false positive, deleting logs without investigation, waiting for an annual review, assuming irrelevance just because the connection was blocked, or disabling the intrusion policy entirely.

Correct Answer: File download/retrieval from the malware event details, when the file was captured per file policy configuration
Explanation: When file capture is enabled in file policy, the malware event details allow retrieval of the captured file for further analysis, which is distinct from a NAT PAT pool, an SSH access list, an identity policy authentication method, a QoS policing rate, or a health policy alert threshold.

Correct Answer: Retrospective detection/disposition updates (via AMP cloud intelligence)
Explanation: Retrospective detection updates a file's disposition based on new threat intelligence, even after an initial clean verdict, unlike a permanently fixed one-time disposition, or unrelated NAT, platform settings, identity policy, or QoS updates.

Correct Answer: Prioritizing events with high impact flags and strong host-relevance correlation, along with malware events showing a malware or custom detection disposition, over low-impact or clearly irrelevant events
Explanation: Prioritizing high-impact, host-relevant intrusion events and malware/custom-detection dispositions is an efficient triage approach, unlike treating every event with equal priority, an arbitrary day-of-week restriction, ignoring malware events for unrelated audit logs, random-order investigation, or deferring all investigation for a full year.

Correct Answer: Summarizing trends in detected and blocked intrusion/malware events, high-impact incidents addressed, and any notable changes in threat patterns over the quarter
Explanation: A quarterly summary of detection/blocking trends, notable incidents, and threat pattern changes effectively communicates defense effectiveness to leadership, unlike an unsummarized raw database export, an irrelevant dashboard color scheme report, providing no report at all, an unrelated office supply report, or deliberately omitting all threat detail.
