The correct answer is A . When a playbook trigger is configured for an alert—regardless of severity—the playbook will automatically run when the alert is grouped into an incident , unless a severity condition is specifically configured in the playbook trigger. By default, the playbook will execute for any alert (including low severity) as soon as it is grouped within an incident.

“A playbook that is configured as a trigger for an alert will automatically execute when that alert is grouped as part of an incident, independent of the alert's severity unless a specific severity threshold is set.”

The correct answers are B and C .

From XQL Search , you can save existing queries directly to your personal Query Library and then choose to share them with others by enabling the sharing option.

You can also build new queries in the XQL Search field, then use "Save as" and select "Query to Library," followed by enabling the "Share with others" option.

"Queries can be created and saved to the Query Library from XQL Search either by saving existing queries or using the 'Save as' feature after building a new query. The 'Share with others' option allows for team collaboration."

The correct answer is A – The rule is configured with alert severity below Medium.

By default, in Cortex XSIAM, only alerts with a severity of Medium or higher will automatically generate incidents . If a correlation rule creates alerts with severity set below Medium (such as Low or Informational), these alerts will not result in the automatic creation of an incident. This ensures that incident queues are not filled with low-priority events.

"Incidents are generated only for alerts with severity of Medium or higher. Alerts below this threshold will not automatically create incidents."

The correct answer is D – Pause the step with the error, thus automatically triggering the execution of the remaining steps.

When a playbook encounters an error and the analyst does not have permissions to modify or recreate the playbook, the recommended action is to pause the step with the error. This will skip the problematic step and allow the remaining steps of the playbook to execute , ensuring the investigation or response continues.

"Pausing a failed step in the playbook work plan allows the remaining steps to continue executing, useful when immediate playbook edits are not possible due to permission restrictions."

The correct answer is A – Input Results .

In Cortex XSIAM playbooks, when sub-playbooks are configured to loop, the Input Results tab within the task view allows analysts to see exactly what input data was provided to the sub-playbook during each iteration of the loop. This is essential for understanding playbook behavior and troubleshooting automation flows.

“The Input Results tab in the playbook task provides visibility into the data supplied to a sub-playbook for every loop iteration, allowing analysts to review how the input changes across executions.”
