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:

 To prevent the use of unauthorized USB storage devices, the administrator needs to enable the USB Device Control feature in the VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard. This feature allows the administrator to approve or block specific USB devices based on their vendor ID, product ID, serial number, and device type. The administrator can also set a default action for unapproved USB devices, such as block, read-only, or allow. The administrator can manage the USB devices from the USB Devices page under the Settings menu. From this page, the administrator can view the list of USB devices that have been detected by the endpoints, and elect to approve only the allowed USB devices. The administrator can also export or import the list of approved USB devices for backup or replication purposes. References:

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:
