What is the Cortex XSOAR Marketplace?
A Security Operations Center (SOC) is attempting to proactively identify and defend against an evolving spear-phishing campaign that uses novel techniques to deliver custom-built malware. The campaign appears to be sponsored by a nation-state. The SOC has access to WildFire, Unit 42 threat intelligence, and regularly queries VirusTotal. To build a robust defense strategy that includes both technical indicators and contextual understanding of the adversary, which of the following actions or integrations would provide the MOST comprehensive and actionable intelligence?
Which component of Cortex XDR is designed to detect insider threats?
During an incident response engagement, a forensic investigator discovers a persistent threat actor using a custom command-and- control (C2) protocol over port 53 (DNS). The existing SIEM logs show only generic DNS queries. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the adversary's TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures), including their C2 infrastructure, exploit development, and motivation, and to proactively block future attacks, which combination of resources would be most beneficial?
A sophisticated APT group is observed using a custom, polymorphic malware variant. The only consistent indicator found across initial compromises is the use of a unique, newly registered domain (evil-command-control.xyz) for C2 communications, which is not yet widely known to public threat intelligence feeds. The security team needs to rapidly operationalize this domain indicator within their Cortex ecosystem for both prevention and detection.
