Free Paloalto Networks XSIAM-Engineer Practice Exam with Questions & Answers

When installing optional content packs in Cortex XSIAM, any mandatory dependencies are automatically included. The engineer’s main consideration is whether the additional functionality is needed and whether it may have a performance impact on the system.

To enable Cloud Identity Engine on Cortex XSIAM, it must first be activated on HUB, Palo Alto Networks’ centralized service management platform. Once activated, it can be configured and integrated with Cortex XSIAM for identity-based visibility and enforcement.

To show incidents assigned to a specific user in a Cortex XSIAM custom dashboard, the engineer should use filters and inputs in the custom dashboard. This enables dynamic filtering of incident data, allowing the dashboard to be customized based on user assignment.

In the query action_local_port in (1122, 2234), the word "in" functions as an operator. It checks whether the field action_local_port matches any value in the specified list (1122, 2234).

To migrate XDR agents without internet from tenant A to tenant B, the engineer must install a new Broker C registered to tenant B to establish communication, and also register Broker A with tenant B so existing agents can transition their communication path smoothly during migration.

In a For Each Input loop, each iteration takes the next value from the list inputs while keeping constant inputs unchanged.

On the second iteration:

x = X (second value of W,X,Y,Z)

y = b (second value of a,b,c,d)

z = 9 (constant for all iterations).

So, the values are X, b, 9.

To allow continued testing after the first emulated attack was blocked, the engineer must add an indicator exclusion. This bypasses enforcement for the specific test artifact, enabling repeated execution of the scenario to validate which Cortex XDR module detects or prevents the activity.

When creating a custom incident domain in Cortex XSIAM, alert grouping still applies, allowing related alerts to be combined into incidents. However, SmartScore is not applied, since it is reserved for predefined domains.

The URL https:// -docker.pkg.dev is used in Palo Alto Networks infrastructure to download Engine Docker containers. This ensures the Cortex XSIAM engine components are pulled securely from the regional Docker registry.

Broker VM options appear greyed out in the Agent Settings profile when the Local Agent Settings applet is activated without an FQDN. An FQDN is required for agents to resolve and connect to the Broker VM as a download source.
