How can more than one user perform tasks in a workbook?
Correct Answer: C
In Splunk SOAR, tasks within workbooks can be performed by any user whose role has the 'Perform Task' capability enabled. This capability is assigned within the role configuration and allows users with the appropriate permissions to execute tasks. It is not limited to users with write access or the container owner; rather, it is based on the specific permissions granted to the role with which the user is associated.
SPLK-2003 Exam Question 87
What do assets provide for app functionality?
Correct Answer: A
The correct answer is A because assets provide location, credentials, and other parameters needed to run actions. Assets are configurations that define how Phantom connects to external systems or devices, such as firewalls, endpoints, or threat intelligence sources. Assets specify the app, the IP address or hostname, the username and password, and any other settings required to run actions on the target system or device. The answer B is incorrect because assets do not provide hostnames, passwords, and other artifacts needed to run actions, which are data objects that can be created or retrieved by playbooks. The answer C is incorrect because assets do not provide Python code, REST API, and other capabilities needed to run actions, which are provided by apps. The answer D is incorrect because assets do not provide firewall, network, and data sources needed to run actions, which are external systems or devices that can be connected to by assets. Reference: Splunk SOAR Admin Guide, page 45. Assets in Splunk Phantom are configurations that contain the necessary information for apps to connect to external systems and services. This information can include IP addresses, domain names, credentials like usernames and passwords, and other necessary parameters such as API keys or tokens. These parameters enable the apps to perform actions like running queries, executing commands, or gathering data. Assets do not provide the actual Python code, REST API capabilities, or network infrastructure; they are the bridge between the apps and the external systems with the configuration data needed for successful communication and action execution
SPLK-2003 Exam Question 88
A user has written a playbook that calls three other playbooks, one after the other. The user notices that the second playbook starts executing before the first one completes. What is the cause of this behavior?
Correct Answer: D
The correct answer is D because synchronous execution has not been configured. Synchronous execution is a feature that allows you to control the order of execution of playbook blocks. By default, Phantom executes playbook blocks asynchronously, meaning that it does not wait for one block to finish before starting the next one. This can cause problems when you have dependencies between blocks or when you call other playbooks. To enable synchronous execution, you need to use the sync action in the run playbook block and specify the name of the next block to run after the called playbook completes. See Splunk SOAR Documentation for more details. In Splunk SOAR, playbooks can be executed either synchronously or asynchronously. Synchronous execution ensures that a playbook waits for a called playbook to complete before proceeding to the next step. If the second playbook starts executing before the first one completes, it indicates that synchronous execution was not configured for the playbooks. Without synchronous execution, playbooks will execute independently of each other's completion status, leading to potential overlaps in execution. This behavior can be controlled by properly configuring the playbook execution settings to ensure that dependent playbooks complete their tasks in the desired order.
SPLK-2003 Exam Question 89
Some of the playbooks on the SOAR server should only be executed by members of the admin role. How can this rule be applied?
Correct Answer: A
To restrict playbook execution to members of the admin role within Splunk SOAR, the 'Execute Playbook' capability must be managed appropriately. This is done by ensuring that this capability is removed from all other roles except the admin role. Role-based access control (RBAC) in Splunk SOAR allows for granular permissions, which means you can configure which roles have the ability to execute playbooks, and by restricting this capability, you can control which users are able to initiate playbook runs.
SPLK-2003 Exam Question 90
When analyzing events, a working on a case, significant items can be marked as evidence. Where can ail of a case's evidence items be viewed together?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation The correct answer is B because the evidence report is a PDF document that contains all the evidence items of a case, along with the case details, phases, tasks, and comments. The evidence report can be generated from the Case Details page by clicking on the Generate Evidence Report button. The answer A is incorrect because the Workbook page Evidence tab only shows the evidence items that are associated with a specific phase or task of a case, not all the evidence items of the case. The answer C is incorrect because the Investigation page Evidence tab only shows the evidence items that are associated with a specific event or artifact of a case, not all the evidence items of the case. The answer D is incorrect because there is no such option at the bottom of the Investigation page widget panel. Reference: Splunk SOAR User Guide, page 64.
