QuestionQ43

Data Analysis

To derive useful intelligence from the collected bulk data and improve the efficiency of the composite bulk data, Sam, a threat analyst, uses a data-analysis method in which he constructs a logical sequence of events from assumptions about an adversary’s proposed actions, mechanisms, indicators, and implications. To make accurate predictions, he also considers important factors including bad actors, methods, vulnerabilities, targets, and so on.

Which of the following data-analysis methods does Sam use to extract useful intelligence from bulk data?

  • A Linchpin analysis
  • B Critical path analysis
  • C Opportunity analysis
  • D Analogy analysis
Explanation

Linchpin analysis constructs a logical sequence of anticipated adversary activity from assumptions about actions, mechanisms, indicators, and implications. Considering threat actors, methods, vulnerabilities, and targets helps turn bulk threat data into predictive intelligence.
