Question 780

During a firewall implementation acceptance test: A collector receives connection events with incorrect time offsets, impairing correlation against sensor intrusion evidence. Which TWO complementary choices provide the most appropriate corrective action and its direct independent verification? Select TWO answers.

  1. Inspect underlying intrusion and endpoint events, model-reported evidence links, indicator provenance and human reviewer decisions.
  2. Configure supported Security Analytics and Logging collection scope, retention and time synchronization with ingestion health checks.
  3. Configure supported Threat Intelligence Director feed format, scheduling and ingestion validation with approved indicator scope.
  4. Inspect source inventory, collector ingestion status, dropped event counters, retention policy and cross-system event timestamps.
  5. Assume an analytics dashboard can recover security events that were never forwarded or retained by the source.

Explanation

Correct Answers

B:

Appropriate implementation: Configure supported Security Analytics and Logging collection scope, retention and time synchronization with ingestion health checks. Case details: A collector receives connection events with incorrect time offsets, impairing correlation against sensor intrusion evidence. Governing behavior: Security analytics visibility depends on exported event coverage, transport reliability and consistent timestamp interpretation.

D:

Direct independent How to verify: Inspect source inventory, collector ingestion status, dropped event counters, retention policy and cross-system event timestamps.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That option would inspect underlying intrusion and endpoint events, model-reported evidence links, indicator provenance and human reviewer decisions, but it addresses a different concern. Governing behavior: Security analytics visibility depends on exported event coverage, transport reliability and consistent timestamp interpretation.

C:

That option would configure supported Threat Intelligence Director feed format, scheduling and ingestion validation with approved indicator scope, but it addresses a different concern. Governing behavior: Security analytics visibility depends on exported event coverage, transport reliability and consistent timestamp interpretation.

E:

Unsafe or unsupported shortcut for this firewall scenario: Assume an analytics dashboard can recover security events that were never forwarded or retained by the source.

Question 781

A CCNP Security practice scenario presents this condition: A Splunk search shows incomplete firewall outcomes because the ingestion pipeline maps the policy-action field to an unrelated generic severity value. Which security configuration or operational step BEST addresses the requirement? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Use AI-assisted correlation as a reviewable analytical aid with preserved evidence, confidence limits and human approval for consequential response.
  2. Assume every forwarded log string is parsed into reliable Splunk firewall fields automatically without validation.
  3. Use supported FMC event export to Splunk, validate ingestion source types, stable fields, time and deduplication semantics.
  4. Configure Rapid Threat Containment with trustworthy triggering evidence, precise target identifiers, supported enforcement and reversible authorization.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Question 782

A firewall service owner escalates the following: A Splunk search shows incomplete firewall outcomes because the ingestion pipeline maps the policy-action field to an unrelated generic severity value. Which firewall behavior or technical principle BEST explains the observed condition? Select ONE best answer.

  1. XDR aggregates security signals and may orchestrate supported responses, but integration capabilities and authorization limit available actions.
  2. Malware file intelligence evolves after transfer, so a retrospective alert may identify exposure not recognized at initial observation.
  3. Assume every forwarded log string is parsed into reliable Splunk firewall fields automatically without validation.
  4. External SIEM integrations must preserve event identity and context; ingestion success alone does not guarantee accurate security interpretation.

Explanation

Approved action: Use supported FMC event export to Splunk, validate ingestion source types, stable fields, time and deduplication semantics. Independent evidence: Compare native FMC events with Splunk raw and parsed records, field extraction, time zones and duplicate handling. Acceptance criterion: Queries reproduce source-level counts and dispositions for a controlled period with no unexplained field loss.

Question 785

An FMC policy and traffic review discovers: A Splunk search shows incomplete firewall outcomes because the ingestion pipeline maps the policy-action field to an unrelated generic severity value. Which misleading assumption MOST directly causes this issue and must be rejected? Select ONE best answer.

  1. Assume every forwarded log string is parsed into reliable Splunk firewall fields automatically without validation.
  2. Assume enabling pxGrid alone means every device IP is always mapped to the correct current identity.
  3. Assume file event logging alone guarantees a malicious file was prevented from reaching every endpoint.
  4. Assume any intrusion alert justifies automatically isolating every host sharing the same subnet.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Reject the scenario-specific unsafe assumption: Assume every forwarded log string is parsed into reliable Splunk firewall fields automatically without validation. The stated shortcut conflicts with the intended control and its documented verification.
