5V0-93.22 Exam Dumps : VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Skills

 According to the VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard User Guide, the threshold, in days, before a machine shows as inactive in the console is 7 days. An inactive device is a device that has not communicated with the Carbon Black Cloud console for more than 7 days. The console displays the last communication time for each device on the Endpoints page. The administrator can use the Inactive Devices filter to view all the inactive devices in the organization. The administrator can also use the Device Status widget on the Dashboard page to see the number and percentage of inactive devices in the organization. The administrator can take various actions to resolve the inactive device issue, such as:

• Check the network connectivity and firewall settings of the device
• Check the sensor status and version on the device
• Check the policy settings and rules applied to the device
• Reinstall the sensor on the device
• Delete the device from the console if it is no longer in use References:
• VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard User Guide, page 14, Inactive Devices section.

When an administrator dismisses a group of alerts and ticks the box for “Dismiss future instances of this alert on all devices in all policies”, the following happens:

• The alerts are moved to the Dismissed tab on the Alerts page, and the alert count is reduced accordingly.
• The alerts are no longer displayed on the Dashboard or the Device page.
• The alerts are no longer considered for the device health score or the policy health score.
• The alerts are no longer sent to any configured Notifications.

Therefore, if a new alert is added to the same group of alerts, it will also be dismissed automatically and follow the same rules as above. This means that the alert will show when the Dismissed filter is selected on Alerts page, but a Notification email will not be sent. References: VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Skills Reference Materials, Section 6.2: Dismissing Alerts, Page 46.

The reputation that was used by the sensor for the decision to terminate the process was the effective reputation. The effective reputation is the reputation that the sensor uses to evaluate and enforce policy rules on the endpoint. The effective reputation is determined by the following factors:

• The initial cloud reputation, which is the reputation that the Carbon Black Cloud assigns to the file based on its analysis and threat intelligence feeds.
• The actioned reputation, which is the reputation that the administrator assigns to the file through the Carbon Black Cloud console, such as approve, ban, or dismiss.
• The current cloud reputation, which is the reputation that the Carbon Black Cloud updates for the file based on new information or changes in the threat landscape.

The effective reputation is the highest priority reputation among these three factors. For example, if the initial cloud reputation is SUSPECT_MALWARE, the actioned reputation is APPROVED, and the current cloud reputation is KNOWN_MALWARE, the effective reputation will be APPROVED, because it has the highest priority. The sensor will use the effective reputation to apply the policy rules on the endpoint. In this case, the process will not be blocked by the rule [Suspected malware] [Invokes a command interpreter] [Terminate process], because the effective reputation is not SUSPECT_MALWARE.

In the question scenario, the effective reputation for the process was SUSPECT_MALWARE, which means that either the initial cloud reputation, the actioned reputation, or the current cloud reputation was SUSPECT_MALWARE, and there was no higher priority reputation that overrode it. Therefore, the sensor used the effective reputation to enforce the policy rule and terminate the process. References:
