The Risk Analysis dashboard uses the Risk data model to populate the panels. The Risk data model is a data model that contains information about the risk scores and risk modifiers of various objects, such as systems, users, hashes, and network artifacts. The Risk data model accelerates these fields for the Risk Analysis and Incident Review dashboards. The Risk data model also handles case insensitive asset and identity correlation, allowing risk modifiers that are applied to system or user name variants to be correctly attributed to the same risk_object1. The other options, B, C, and D, are not correct. The Audit data model contains information about audit events, such as user logins, password changes, and system access. The Domain Analysis data model contains information about the domains that are visited by the systems in the network. The Threat Intelligence data model contains information about the threat intelligence sources, indicators, and matches. References =

The ES application should be uploaded to the search head, which is the component that runs the ES user interface and executes the searches, alerts, and reports. The search head should be dedicated to ES and not run any other applications. The indexer is the component that indexes the data and stores it in buckets. The KV Store is a feature that stores and manages data as key-value pairs. The dedicated forwarder is a component that collects data from various sources and forwards it to the indexer. None of these components can run the ES application. References =

 According to the Splunk Enterprise Security documentation, the recommended way to install ES is on a server with a new install of Splunk. This is because ES requires a dedicated search head that is not shared with other apps or users. Installing ES on a server with a new install of Splunk ensures that there are no conflicts or performance issues with other apps or configurations. If you want to install ES on an existing search head, you need to follow some additional steps, such as redirecting distributed search connections, purging KV Store, and backing up existing data. See Install Splunk Enterprise Security for more details. Therefore, the correct answer is C. On a server with a new install of Splunk. References = Install Splunk Enterprise Security.

 According to the Splunk Enterprise Security documentation, only users with the ess_admin role or the Manage All Investigations capability can delete an investigation. The investigation owner and collaborators can edit the investigation, but not delete it. Therefore, the correct answer is A. ess_admin users only. References = Manage investigations in Splunk Enterprise Security

According to the Splunk Enterprise Security Admin documentation, the minimum hardware requirements for a dedicated search head running ES are as follows: OS: 64 bit, RAM: 32 GB, CPU: 16 cores. These requirements are based on the assumption that the search head is not performing any other tasks besides running ES. The documentation also recommends having at least 500 GB of disk space for the search head. References = Splunk Enterprise Security Admin documentation

According to the Splunk Enterprise Security documentation, the default schedule for accelerating ES data models is every 5 minutes. This means that the data model acceleration searches run every 5 minutes to summarize the newly indexed data and store the results in the tsidx files. The 5-minute schedule is recommended for most use cases, as it provides a balance between search performance and resource consumption. However, you can change the schedule of a data model acceleration search in the Content Management page of Splunk Enterprise Security, if needed. See Configure data models for Splunk Enterprise Security for more details. References = Configure data models for Splunk Enterprise Security.

A field alias is a knowledge object that maps a non-standard field name to a CIM field name. A field alias allows you to use the same search string to retrieve data from different data sources, even if the data sources use different field names for the same type of data. For example, if you have data sources that use different field names for the source IP address, such as src_ip, source_ip, or sip, you can create a field alias that maps these field names to the CIM field name src. This way, you can use src as a common field name in your searches and reports, and Splunk will automatically replace it with the appropriate field name for each data source. Field aliases are applied at search time, so they do not affect the original data or the index time field extractions. References =

Onboarding data to Splunk Enterprise Security

The Auto Deployment feature of Distributed Configuration Management is a tool that allows you to automatically distribute configuration files, such as indexes.conf, to your Splunk platform instances. However, using this feature to distribute indexes.conf can pose a risk of having indexes with different settings across your instances. This can happen if you have manually edited the indexes.conf file on some of your instances, or if you have different versions of Splunk Enterprise Security installed on different instances. If the indexes have different settings, such as retention policies, storage paths, or bucket sizes, this can cause data inconsistency, search inefficiency, or data loss. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Manual Deployment feature of Distributed Configuration Management to review and validate the indexes.conf file before deploying it to your instances12. References = 1: Distributed Configuration Management - Splunk Documentation - Auto Deployment. 2: Distributed Configuration Management - Splunk Documentation - Manual Deployment.
