A task must repeat every hour until a threat score drops below 20. Which feature supports this?

Question

Options

• AScheduled jobs
• BBuilt-in enrichment script
• CTask SLA
• DLoop with "until" condition

• A
  17% (4)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  75% (18)

Explanation

Option D is correct because a "Loop with 'until' condition" is specifically designed for scenarios where a task must execute repeatedly and check a dynamic condition between iterations - exactly matching the requirement of running hourly until a threshold (threat score < 20) is met.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Scheduled jobs) run on a fixed schedule but don't natively support conditional termination - they keep running regardless of any changing state.
• B (Built-in enrichment script) is for augmenting data with additional context (e.g., threat intel lookups), not for controlling task repetition logic.
• C (Task SLA) defines time-based performance expectations or deadlines for task completion, not a mechanism for conditional looping.

Memory tip: Think of the phrase "loop until done" - whenever a question involves repetition plus a stopping condition based on a changing value, the answer is always the loop construct with an until clause. Scheduled jobs are "set and forget"; loops are "run and check."
