Question 340
During a security architecture workshop, the team learns that: A detection rule catches a false-positive administrative script, and the owner asks for blanket script exclusions. What should the cybersecurity architect recommend?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Scoped exceptions limit noise without removing visibility for genuine malicious variants. This choice directly fits the stated architecture requirement.
Incorrect Answers
This recommendation fits a different scenario: A SOC promotes every external threat indicator to a high-severity alert without validating matches against tenant events. Intelligence relevance depends on actual environment observations rather than feed labels alone. It does not solve the specified case, for which Use evidence-based narrow tuning and regression tests rather than disabling the broad detection family. is appropriate.
This recommendation fits a different scenario: Endpoint detectors become noisy after a new sensor rollout, and leadership believes attacks have doubled. Improved visibility can increase alert counts without a matching change in attacker activity. It does not solve the specified case, for which Use evidence-based narrow tuning and regression tests rather than disabling the broad detection family. is appropriate.
This recommendation fits a different scenario: A malware campaign changes IP addresses while maintaining the same credential-theft technique. Technique-oriented analytics survive changes to attacker infrastructure. It does not solve the specified case, for which Use evidence-based narrow tuning and regression tests rather than disabling the broad detection family. is appropriate.
