CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-002) — Question 190

A manufacturing company has joined the information sharing and analysis center for its sector. As a benefit, the company will receive structured IoC data contributed by other members. Which of the following best describes the utility of this data?

Answer options

• A. Other members will have visibility into instances of positive IoC identification within the manufacturing company’s corporate network.
• B. The manufacturing company will have access to relevant malware samples from all other manufacturing sector members.
• C. Other members will automatically adjust their security postures to defend the manufacturing company’s processes.
• D. The manufacturing company can ingest the data and use tools to autogenerate security configurations for all of its infrastructure.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that the manufacturing company will receive relevant malware samples from other members, which is a direct benefit of sharing IoC data. Option A is incorrect because it suggests visibility for other members, which is not the primary benefit. Option C is wrong as it implies automatic adjustments in security postures, which is not guaranteed. Option D is also not accurate because autogenerating security configurations is not a direct utility of receiving IoC data.
