Exam CS0-003 topic 1 question 33 discussion

this clearly state POssible and not already on the sys, all the other options would make sense for a threat already on the sys, but since they are looking for POSSIBLE only risk assessment make sense

give aways executive briefing, theybare not technical and possible- it might happen and whats the risk should it happen.

Since it is a possible threat, it can not be IOC. The best possible answer would be C (Threat Assessment).

C: Risk assessment A risk assessment provides holistic information for briefings, while every other option provides raw technical data that are useful for investigations.

C vote

ok so im not the only one thinking risk assessment. man. there are a lot of questionable answers in this bank... im just hoping these are valid questions an answers...

A risk assessment will provide a comprehensive analysis of potential threats, vulnerabilities, and their impact on the organization. This data is crucial for creating an executive briefing that effectively communicates the current threat landscape and helps make informed security measures decisions.

C. Risk assessment A risk assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of potential threats, vulnerabilities, and the impact they may have on the organization. It evaluates the likelihood of various threats occurring and the potential consequences, offering a clear picture of the overall risk landscape. This information is crucial for an executive briefing, as it helps executives understand the key threats and prioritize resources to mitigate them effectively. Firewall logs, indicators of compromise, and access control lists can be useful for technical analysis but do not provide the high-level overview and strategic insight that an executive briefing requires. IoCs are way more technical for an executive to understand.

I chose C because it says possible meaning nothing has occurred. But, of the options provided, both B (Indicators of compromise) and C (Risk assessment) are crucial for producing the data needed for the executive briefing on possible threats to the organization. These sources provide complementary information about current threats, potential risks, and the organization's overall security posture. Combining insights from indicators of compromise and risk assessment will offer a comprehensive view of the cybersecurity landscape, enabling the cybersecurity analyst to effectively communicate the threat landscape to executives.

CertMaster Topic 2C: Security teams can quickly identify and respond to security threats by collecting and analyzing these indicators. IoCs can help provide a summary of malicious actions, giving security professionals an easy way to identify the potential source of a security incident. The summary information also informs a response plan by identifying the systems and services to isolate or monitor and which users and accounts may need to be locked. Collecting and analyzing IoCs makes it possible to accurately and efficiently describe security issues, helping protect organizations from future threats.

Risk assessment, the threat is not found yet to be discussed, so the analyst has to do a risk assessment first... answer B is incorrect as it nowhere said in the question that the system was attacked before or had indicators of compromise.

Answer is C: Risk Assessments are either Quantitative or Qualitative... the Quantitative portion would be the data to present to your C-Level Executives.

Risk assessment

It is definitely risk assesment.

Clearly Risk Assessment

It is asking "which of the following will produce the data" IoC will produce the data for the briefing. A risk assessment analyzes the data for the briefing.. "Produce" is the key word here

Ans should be c: Risk assessments provide the data needed for executive briefings by summarizing threats, likelihood, impact, and mitigation strategies, directly addressing potential security risks.
