Refer to Exhibit:A SOC analyst is creating the Malicious File Detected playbook to run when...

Understanding the Playbook and its Components:

The exhibit shows a playbook in which an event trigger starts actions upon detecting a malicious file.

The initial tasks in the playbook includeCREATE_INCIDENTandGET_EVENTS.

Analysis of Current Tasks:

EVENT_TRIGGER STARTER: This initiates the playbook when a specified event (malicious file detection) occurs.

CREATE_INCIDENT: This task likely creates a new incident in the incident management system for tracking and response.

GET_EVENTS: This task retrieves the event details related to the detected malicious file.

Objective of the Next Task:

The next logical step after creating an incident and retrieving event details is to update the incident with the event data, ensuring all relevant information is attached to the incident record.

This helps SOC analysts by consolidating all pertinent details within the incident record, facilitating efficient tracking and response.

Evaluating the Options:

Option A:Update Asset and Identityis not directly relevant to attaching event data to the incident.

Option B:Attach Data to Incidentsounds plausible but typically, updating an incident involves more comprehensive changes including status updates, adding comments, and other data modifications.

Option C:Run Reportis irrelevant in this context as the goal is to update the incident with event data.

Option D:Update Incidentis the most suitable action for incorporating event data into the existing incident record.

Conclusion:

The next task in the playbook should be to update the incident with the event data to ensure the incident reflects all necessary information for further investigation and response.
