What should you do first?
- A. Build a playbook for each of the noisiest alert sources to gather additional context on the case from the source product.
- B. Build a job to periodically iterate over recent cases, determine relevant context, and enrich alerts.
- C. Build a low-priority, catch-all playbook for enrichment of entities in a case using threat intelligence sources.
- D. Build a playbook for each detection rule to enrich and remediate alerts relative to the particular threat each rule is designed to detect.

What should you do?
- A. Run a raw log search to search for the domain string.
- B. Configure a UDM search that queries the DNS section of the network noun.
- C. Enter the IOC into the IOC Search feature, and wait for detections with this domain to appear in the Case view.
