Question 1Choose one

A SOC manager wants to create a weekly 'Top 10 Riskiest Users' report. This report should be based on a custom risk score calculated from the number of high-severity security events (IPS, Antivirus, Web Filter) associated with each user. To implement this, an analyst must first create a custom dataset. Which SQL query function is essential for counting the events associated with each user?

The Playbook Monitor shows the playbook is not being triggered. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

Query a third-party threat intelligence service (via API) to check the IP's reputation. 3. If the reputation is 'malicious', add the IP to a specific address group on the edge FortiGate to block it. Which two playbook components are essential for this workflow? (Choose two.)
