Question #22
Which two (2) components are necessary for generating a report using the QRadar Report wizard?
- A . Saved search
- B . Dynamic search
- C . Layout
- D . Quick search
- E . Email address
Correct Answer: AC
AC
Explanation:
In IBM Security QRadar SIEM, generating a report using the QRadar Report Wizard requires a "Saved Search" and a "Layout." A Saved Search is a predefined search criterion that users save in QRadar to reuse for various reporting or analysis purposes. It acts as the data source for the report, defining what data will be included. The Layout component refers to the structure and presentation of the report, including how the data from the Saved Search is organized and displayed. It encompasses the
formatting, charts, tables, and other visual elements that make up the final report. Together, these components ensure that reports are not only informative but also well-organized and readable, catering to the specific informational needs and preferences of the users or stakeholders.

Question #24
Which kind of information do log sources provide?
- A . User login actions
- B . Operating system updates
- C . Flows generated by users
- D . Router configuration exports.
Correct Answer: A
Question #25
Which statement regarding saved event search criteria is true?
- A . Saved search criteria expires
- B . Saved search criteria does not expire
- C . Saved search criteria cannot be reused
- D . You cannot define the name of the saved search criteria
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
In QRadar, when you save search criteria, especially on the Offenses tab, the configured search criteria are retained for future use and do not expire. This permanence ensures that users can quickly access and reuse their preferred search configurations, thereby streamlining the process of monitoring and investigating offenses over time.

Question #26
What Is the result of the following AQL statement?
- A . Returns all fields where the username contains the ERS string and is case-sensitive
- B . Returns all fields where the username contains the ERS string and is case-insensitive
- C . Returns all fields where the username is different from the ERS string and is case-insensitive
- D . Returns all fields where the username is different from the ERS string and is case-sensitive
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
The AQL (Ariel Query Language) statement provided would return all fields from the ‘events’ table where the ‘username’ column contains the string ‘ERS’, regardless of case. The ‘ILIKE’ operator in AQL is used for case-insensitive pattern matching, which means that it will match ‘ers’, ‘Ers’, ‘ErS’, etc.

Question #27
Which parameters are used to calculate the magnitude rating of an offense?
- A . Relevance, credibility, time
- B . Severity, relevance, credibility
- C . Relevance, urgency, credibility
- D . Severity, impact, urgency
Correct Answer: B
B
Explanation:
The magnitude rating of an offense in IBM Security QRadar SIEM V7.5 is calculated based on three key parameters: severity, relevance, and credibility. Severity indicates the level of threat, relevance determines the offense’s impact on the network, and credibility reflects the integrity of the offense as determined by the credibility rating configured in the log source. This combination of factors helps prioritize offenses and guide analysts on which ones to investigate first.

Question #28
A QRadar analyst develops an advanced search on the Log Activity tab and presses the shortcut "Ctrl + Space" in the search field.
What information is displayed?
- A . The full list of AQL databases, functions and fields (properties) is displayed.
- B . The full list of AQL tables and relationships from a database is displayed.
- C . The full list of AOL functions, fields (properties), and keywords is displayed.
- D . The full list of AQL functions, tables, and views from a database is displayed.
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
The information displayed when pressing “Ctrl + Space” in the search field in the Log Activity tab in QRadar is not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, in general, this shortcut is often used in various software and platforms to display a list of available commands, functions, or properties. In the context of QRadar, it’s likely that pressing “Ctrl + Space” in the search field would display a list of available AQL (Ariel Query Language) databases, functions, and fields (properties).

Question #29
Create a list that stores Username as the first key. Source IP as the second key with an assigned cidr data type, and Source Port as the value.
The example above refers to what kind of reference data collections?
- A . Reference map of sets
- B . Reference store
- C . Reference table
- D . Reference map
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
The example provided refers to a "Reference table," which is a type of reference data collection in QRadar that can store complex structured data. A reference table allows for multiple keys and values, supporting the storage of data like Usernames, Source IPs with a specific data type (e.g., cidr for IP addresses), and Source Ports as values.
