Q1. An organization needs process trees and live behavioral detection on its most sensitive workloads. Which collection method must it add?
Answer: C. Runtime Sensors
Runtime Sensors must be added to capture process trees and provide live behavioral detection on workloads. Agentless scanning and dashboards like Boards do not provide deep runtime telemetry.
Q2. Which is a true statement about agentless scanning's deployment characteristics?
Answer: C. It does not require installing software on each workload and relies on cloud connector access
Agentless scanning relies on cloud connector access and does not require installing software on each workload. This deployment model avoids the operational overhead of managing agents.
Q3. A team wants the fastest path to broad multi-cloud risk visibility with the option to deepen runtime detection later. Which sequence aligns with Wiz architecture?
Answer: B. Start with agentless scanning for broad baseline coverage, then add Runtime Sensors where deeper runtime detection is needed
Starting with agentless scanning provides immediate broad baseline visibility across multi-cloud environments. Runtime Sensors are then layered on specific sensitive workloads for deeper behavioral detection.
Q4. A team uses ServiceNow for change management. How are such integrations typically used in the Wiz remediation workflow?
Answer: B. To automatically create tickets so remediation work is tracked in the team's existing system
Ticketing integrations like ServiceNow automatically create tickets so remediation work is tracked in the team's existing system. Wiz does not replace the configuration management database, but rather feeds actionable security context directly into it.
Q5. An analyst wants to act on 50 selected issues in one operation. What is the most efficient approach?
Answer: A. Use bulk actions
Using bulk actions allows the analyst to process multiple issues simultaneously, saving significant time. Opening each issue individually is inefficient, and creating separate reports or rules defeats the purpose of streamlined administration.
Q6. What does the Remediation tab on the Issue details drawer help a user identify?
Answer: A. Recommended remediation flows for the underlying problem
The remediation tab helps users identify recommended remediation flows for the underlying problem. It translates complex security graph data into actionable steps, making it easier to resolve issues without guessing the fix.
Q7. A compliance officer needs to demonstrate which resources violate a specific framework's controls. Which Wiz capability is most relevant?
Answer: A. Compliance posture mapping against the framework, highlighting non-compliant resources
Compliance posture mapping aligns cloud resources against specific frameworks to highlight violations and non-compliant assets. Runtime process trees and browser extensions focus on active threats rather than demonstrating regulatory compliance.
Q8. During an AI security review, Wiz finds a model artifact store that is internet-reachable and contains proprietary training data plus an embedded token. What is the priority concern?
Answer: A. Exposure of sensitive training data and an embedded secret that could enable data theft and unauthorized access
The priority concern is the exposure of sensitive training data and an embedded secret that could enable unauthorized access. File formats and storage costs are operational concerns that do not address this critical security risk.
Q9. How does adding Runtime Sensors improve malware-related insight beyond agentless scanning?
Answer: C. It allows observing malicious behavior at runtime, complementing agentless content scanning
Runtime sensors monitor active processes to detect malicious behavior in real time, adding execution context to static agentless scans. For the exam, remember that agentless scanning finds files, while runtime sensors confirm if malware actually executes.
Q10. What does runtime validation of a vulnerability tell an analyst?
Answer: C. Whether the vulnerable component is actually loaded/running, indicating real exploitability
Runtime validation confirms whether a vulnerable package is actually loaded and running, proving its exploitability. Use this to prioritize active critical vulnerabilities over dormant ones that pose no immediate threat.
Q11. What do Boards primarily help teams do?
Answer: C. Organize and visualize security data/metrics for tracking and communication
Boards organize and visualize security data, making tracking and communication easier. Defining user roles or rotating secrets are administrative or remediation actions, not core dashboard functions.
Q12. What is the primary benefit of the Wiz API?
Answer: C. It provides programmatic access to Wiz data and capabilities for automation and integration
The Wiz API provides programmatic access to Wiz capabilities, enabling automation and integration with other systems. It does not bypass authentication or replace native scanning features.
Q13. What is Mika AI best described as?
Answer: C. An AI assistant that helps users query and understand Wiz security data conversationally
Mika AI acts as a conversational assistant to help users query and understand Wiz security data. It is not an infrastructure component like a cloud connector or a runtime sensor.
Q14. A security engineer is reviewing a public cloud provider console in their browser and wants relevant Wiz context surfaced inline as they navigate. Which Wiz capability is designed to exist for this purpose?
Answer: B. The Wiz Browser Extension
The Wiz Browser Extension surfaces relevant security context inline as users navigate public cloud provider consoles. Ignore rules and compliance frameworks do not provide inline user interface context.
Q15. A user asks Mika AI for a remediation recommendation. What is the appropriate best practice for using its output?
Answer: A. Review and validate the recommendation against your environment and context before applying
Mika AI recommendations should be validated against your specific environment before applying changes. Blindly implementing AI suggestions everywhere introduces risk because context matters for safe remediation.
Q16. Which best contrasts agentless scanning with Runtime Sensor data collection?
Answer: A. Agentless = no installed software, broad config/content visibility; Sensors = installed, live runtime telemetry
Agentless scanning requires no installed software and provides broad visibility, while Runtime Sensors require installation to capture live telemetry. The two methods serve distinct architectural purposes.
