SPLK-3001 Exam Dumps

Explanation:

The Splunk Add-on Builder generates Splunk add-ons that follow a specific naming convention. These add-ons start with the prefix:

TA (stands for Technology Add-on)
Followed by a D (indicating it was created by the Add-on Builder)
Example: TA-demo-addon

So, the correct prefix is TA-D, which aligns with option C. TAD (assuming a slight formatting variation).

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. DAB → Incorrect; this is not a standard Splunk add-on prefix.
B. SAC → Incorrect; this might refer to "Splunk App for Content," but it’s not the Add-on Builder’s output.
D. App- → Incorrect; while Splunk apps can start with "App-," add-ons built with the Add-on Builder use TA-.

Key Concept:
Technology Add-ons (TAs) are lightweight apps that normalize data for Splunk’s Common Information Model (CIM).
The Add-on Builder simplifies TA creation, ensuring compatibility with Enterprise Security (ES) and other Splunk apps.

Explanation:

For Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) on-premises deployments, Splunk's official best practice recommends a maximum of 100 GB per day per indexer for optimal performance. This guideline ensures:

. Efficient correlation search execution (critical for ES).
. Stable data model acceleration (required for dashboards and investigations).
. Reliable notable event generation (without delays).

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. 50 GB → Too conservative; while safe, it’s below the recommended limit.
C. 300 GB → Exceeds the limit; ES performance may degrade (e.g., delayed correlation searches).
D. 500 MB → Far too low; ES deployments typically handle much larger volumes.

Key Concept:
Scaling ES: If your data exceeds 100 GB/day/indexer, you must:

. Add more indexers (horizontal scaling).
. Optimize data ingestion (e.g., filter unnecessary events).

Cloud vs. On-Prem: Splunk Cloud may have different limits (often higher due to managed infrastructure).

Explanation:

The Security Posture dashboard is designed to provide high-level insight into the notable events across all domains of your deployment, suitable for display in a Security Operations Center (SOC). This dashboard

Explanation:

In Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), the Risk Framework assigns a numeric risk score to objects (such as users, servers, or devices) to quantify their level of risk. Here’s how it works:

Risk scores are calculated based on correlation searches and threat intelligence.
Higher scores indicate higher risk (e.g., a user with multiple failed logins or a server communicating with a known malicious IP).
These scores help prioritize investigations (e.g., focusing on entities with the highest risk).

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. An urgency → Incorrect. While risk scores may imply urgency, the framework itself assigns scores, not urgency labels.
B. A risk profile → Incorrect. A "risk profile" is a broader concept (e.g., patterns of behavior), but the framework specifically adds numeric scores.
C. An aggregation → Incorrect. Aggregation refers to combining data, not risk scoring.

Key Concept:
Risk Adaptive Framework (RAF) dynamically adjusts risk scores based on:
. Threat severity (e.g., critical vs. low-risk threats).
. Recency (e.g., newer events weigh more heavily).
Analysts can view risk scores in the Risk Analysis dashboard and Incident Review.

Explanation:

In Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), the Short ID is a unique identifier used to track and reference a notable event easily—especially in cases where long event IDs or full search strings would be too cumbersome.

The option to create or view a Short ID is found in the Event Details section of a notable event. When you're viewing a notable event from Incident Review:

Click on a notable event.
In the Event Details pane that opens, you’ll see the Short ID (or an option to generate it).
This allows you to reference the event quickly in reports, investigations, or communications.

❌ Why other options are incorrect:

A. The Additional Fields: These contain other extracted fields from the event, not the Short ID.
C. The Contributing Events: This section shows the raw events that led to the notable, not metadata like the Short ID.
D. The Description: This is part of the correlation rule's output or user-provided details, not where Short ID is located.

Explanation:

If the Brute Force Access Behavior Detected correlation search is generating too many false positives, the most effective way to reduce sensitivity (assuming your input data is already correct) is to adjust the threshold conditions within the search logic.

Correlation searches often use conditional logic like:

| where failed_attempts > 5
or
| xswhere failed_logins from same src_ip > 10 in 5 minutes

By increasing these thresholds (e.g., changing > 5 to > 10), the search will trigger less frequently, i.e., only on more extreme cases, thus reducing false positives.

❌ Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Modify notable event status field: This changes how the event is displayed, not how often it's triggered.
C. Alter threshold to make it a more common match: This would actually increase the number of matches, making false positives worse.
D. Modify the urgency table: This affects urgency display, not search sensitivity. It changes how the event is prioritized, but not how often it’s generated.

Explanation:

In Splunk Enterprise Security (ES), the urgency of a notable event is determined by combining:

1. The event's security domain severity (e.g., high, medium, low).
2. The Priority field from the Asset or Identity list (e.g., "high" for critical servers or VIP users).

How It Works:

The Priority column in Asset/Identity lists defines how critical an asset/identity is (e.g., a CEO's workstation might be "high" priority).
Splunk ES cross-references this with the event severity to calculate the final urgency (visible in Incident Review).

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. VIP → A binary flag (yes/no), not used for urgency calculation.
C. Importance → Not a standard field in ES Asset/Identity lists.
D. Criticality → Often confused with "Priority," but not the field ES uses for urgency.

Key Concept:
Urgency = Event Severity + Asset/Identity Priority
Configure Priority in:
. Configure > Data Enrichment > Asset/Identity Management.
