Full set: 100 questions
Answer options
A: Incidents Dashboard
B: Alerts Dashboard
C: Endpoints Dashboard Correct answer
D: Forensics Dashboard
Correct Answer:
C. Endpoints Dashboard
Explanation

The Endpoints Dashboard aggregates endpoint health (online/offline, agent content versions), contextual alert statistics, and incident‐severity widgets. This provides a single view of endpoint status together with alert trends and incident distribution, allowing analysts to assess protection posture and prioritise investigations quickly.

Why Incorrect

A. Incidents dashboard focuses on incident queues and severities, not endpoint status.
B. Alerts dashboard charts alert volume/severity but lacks endpoint‐health widgets.
D. Forensics dashboard shows detailed timelines and artifact views, not high-level status metrics.
