IBM Security QRadar SIEM V7.5 Deployment Sample Questions:
1. There are frequent network interruptions from a particular network zone called "Underground" to the network where QRadar components are installed. Some important applications, though not time critical, are running in the "Underground" network zone. The log data from these applications needs to be sent to QRadar Event Processor for compliance.
How can QRadar receive the logs from the applications in the "Underground" network zone?
A) Using Disconnected Log Collector configured with TLS
B) Using Data Node installed in the "Underground" network
C) Using an App Host
D) Installing an Event Processor secondary node in the "Underground" network
2. When adding a Data Node to an Event Processor, what are the minimum bandwidth and maximum latency requirements?
A) 10 Gbps link and 100 ms latency
B) 10 Gbps link and 10 ms latency
C) 1 Gbps link and 100 ms latency
D) 1 Gbps link and 10 ms latency
3. What must a deployment professional select when defining a new flow source?
A) The router brand
B) The flow source type
C) The destination port
D) The source IP address
4. How do you log in to a managed host command line after you install QRadar?
A) Connect with SSH to the managed host IP address.
B) Connect with SSH to the host through the QRadar Console.
C) Log in to the managed host, rather than the QRadar Console.
D) A managed host is not accessible after it is added to a QRadar Console.
5. A QRadar user wants to edit a building block to include geographic locations that they want to prevent from accessing their network. The user will edit the "and when the source is located in" test in the building block.
Which building block will the user edit?
A) BB:Category Definition: Forbidden Countries
B) BB:NetworkDefinition: NAT Address Range
