Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains a Microsoft Sentinel workspace named WS1. You create a hunting query that detects a new attack vector.

Why each option

To ensure an incident is automatically created in Microsoft Sentinel when a new attack vector identified by a custom hunting query is detected, a scheduled query rule must be configured.

Aa hunting livestream session
Ba query bookmark
Ca scheduled query ruleCorrect

A scheduled query rule in Microsoft Sentinel is designed to run a KQL query periodically, and if the query results meet defined criteria, it can generate security alerts and automatically create incidents. This directly fulfills the requirement of creating an incident when the new attack vector is detected through the custom hunting query.

Da Fusion rule

A Fusion rule is a built-in Sentinel rule type that uses AI to correlate multiple low-fidelity alerts into a high-fidelity incident; however, it is not used to define custom detection logic for a new attack vector from scratch.
