Q1. Wiz's malware detection capabilities include combining proprietary engine results with threat intelligence from which third-party source for hash-based malware detection?
Answer: C. Reversing Labs.
Wiz augments its proprietary malware engine with threat intelligence from Reversing Labs for hash-based detection. Note that Virus Total is a distractor, but Reversing Labs is the specific integrated provider for this workflow.
Q2. The analysis of system-level packages in VMware ESXi systems is performed by accessing which specific API?
Answer: A. The VMware vCenter API.
Wiz retrieves information on vSphere Installation Bundles on ESXi hosts by utilizing the vCenter API, often facilitated by the Wiz Broker for on-premises connections. The NSX API is a distractor meant for networking rather than host package analysis.
Q3. When deploying Remediation and Response in GCP, where are the required response function components provided to the customer's environment?
Answer: B. Via a container image containing the core packages and built-in functions.
The Remediation and Response components for GCP are bundled within a single container image containing the necessary Python packages and built-in functions. Eliminate options mentioning Cloud Storage buckets or pre-installed service accounts.
Q4. If a Cloud Configuration Rule needs to function as a prerequisite for auto-remediation, what configuration step is mandatory for that rule?
Answer: C. The CCR must be explicitly set to function as a Control to generate an Issue.
Remediation actions rely on Issues as triggers, so a rule must be configured to function as a Control to generate an Issue when violated. Rules merely generate Findings unless promoted to Controls.
Q5. If you want to prevent unauthorized configurations from reaching production, which policy enforcement tool specifically leverages Cloud Configuration Rules and Rego to audit or block deployments in Kubernetes clusters?
Answer: C. Wiz Admission Controller (Wiz AC).
The Wiz Admission Controller is deployed in Kubernetes clusters to enforce policies defined using rules, auditing or blocking resource creation that violates policy. The Wiz Broker is only for access brokering, not Kubernetes deployment enforcement.
Q6. What is the key mechanism by which Wiz Policies eventually generate a visible Issue object for users?
Answer: B. Findings generated by policies are aggregated by controls to identify a toxic combination (Issue).
Policies generate individual Findings, which Controls then consume to identify toxic combinations that result in creating an Issue. A practical exam cue is remembering that Policies create Findings, and Controls create Issues.
Q7. When deploying Remediation and Response in Azure, what is the responsibility of the 'Scanner' application deployed as part of the architecture?
Answer: B. To perform the VM scan (creation and scanning of snapshots).
The Scanner application is dedicated to performing the agentless workload scan function, creating and analyzing snapshots of virtual machines on behalf of the Outpost. It does not handle metadata fetching or event payload parsing.
Q8. Where are vulnerability findings initially placed once identified by Wiz?
Answer: C. On the Wiz security graph.
Findings, including vulnerabilities, are modeled and placed directly on the Wiz security graph, where they are correlated with other risks to form Issues. Avoid choosing dedicated dashboards, as they merely visualize data rather than store it.
Q9. If you need to define conditions for an auto-remediation workflow that fixes Cloud Configuration Findings without manual action, where do you create the necessary Automation Rule?
Answer: B. Settings > Automations > Create Rule
Automation Rules linking triggers to actions are created under Settings, Automations, and Create Rule. Remember that you cannot add actions directly inside the Cloud Configuration Rules interface, making the Policies option a trap.
Q10. In an AWS Outpost deployment designed to provide DSPM capabilities, which role is utilized by the EKS cluster nodes (pods) within the Outpost account to perform database scanning and data security risk analysis?
Answer: C. Wiz Orchestrator Node Pool Role (with Data Policy)
The Wiz Orchestrator Node Pool Role, when configured with the Data Policy, grants the EKS nodes permissions to execute DSPM database scans. The standard Wiz Access Role is for the main SaaS connector, not Outpost data scanning.
Q11. When deploying Wiz Outpost in AWS, which role is used by the EKS cluster nodes for essential snapshot scanning tasks like attaching/detaching volumes and reading scan messages from the SQS queue?
Answer: C. Wiz Orchestrator Node Pool Role.
The Wiz Orchestrator Node Pool Role is assumed by the EKS worker nodes to execute low-level snapshot scanning tasks. The Wiz Access Role is used by the SaaS platform for general read-only API access, not snapshot operations.
Q12. When configuring a custom response function for Remediation & Response in Azure, what is the required Python version supported by the Azure Functions environment provided by Wiz?
Answer: B. Python 3.11.
Custom response functions for Azure remediation must support Python version three point eleven. This specific version is supplied directly within the Wiz container image and is the supported requirement for the Azure Functions environment as of two thousand twenty six.
Q13. When defining the scope for a remediation and response deployment, what guardrail capability is provided regarding where response actions are allowed to run?
Answer: B. Defining whether the infrastructure will be allowed to run in 'All resources' or a 'Selected projects' list.
Selecting deployment scope acts as a guardrail by restricting remediation infrastructure to explicitly approved projects. You will choose between all resources or selected projects to ensure response actions only execute within properly authorized boundaries.
Q14. Which tool in the Wiz portal provides details on the Wiz account team contacts (Account Manager, TAM, etc.) and tenant contacts configured for escalation?
Answer: C. Wiz MCP Server via 'Get account team contacts' tool
The Wiz MCP Server provides a dedicated tool to retrieve details for the account team and tenant contacts configured for escalation. Familiarize yourself with administrative toolsets, as portal contact retrieval is increasingly handled via programmatic interfaces.
