Question

Network attacks follow predictable patterns. If you interfere with any portion of this pattern, the attack will be neutralized. Which of the following statements is correct?

Options

  • ACortex XDR Analytics allows to interfere with the pattern as soon as it is observed on the firewall.
  • BCortex XDR Analytics does not interfere with the pattern as soon as it is observed on the endpoint.
  • CCortex XDR Analytics does not have to interfere with the pattern as soon as it is observed on the
  • DCortex XDR Analytics allows to interfere with the pattern as soon as it is observed on the endpoint.

Explanation

Cortex XDR Analytics is a behavioral analytics engine that collects and correlates data across endpoints, firewalls, and other sources to detect attack patterns over time. It does NOT block or interfere with activity the instant a single indicator appears on an endpoint. Instead, it builds a picture of the full attack chain from aggregated telemetry. This is why B is correct: the Analytics module does not interfere with the pattern the moment it is first observed on the endpoint - it needs sufficient pattern data before generating an alert or response.
