Q1. If you are logged in to the Wiz portal and wish to monitor Admission Reviews for your Kubernetes cluster policies, where are these reviews ingested and processed?
Answer: B. As Cloud Events.
Admission Reviews processed by the Wiz Admission Controller are ingested and managed in the portal as Cloud Events. For the exam, link Kubernetes admission control activities directly to the Cloud Events processing pipeline rather than standard vulnerability findings.
Q2. Which Wiz component is specifically designed to use proprietary YARA rules maintained by the Wiz research team, alongside hash-based detections from threat intelligence sources like Reversing Labs?
Answer: C. Malware Analyzer
The Wiz Malware Analyzer leverages proprietary YARA rules alongside hash-based threat intelligence to detect malicious files. Distinguish this from the Vulnerability or Data Scanners, which look for software bugs or sensitive data, rather than malicious patterns.
Q3. How does Wiz correlate findings from its dynamic black-box testing (DAST) of exposed web services and technologies?
Answer: A. By modeling the DAST findings on the Security Graph against Application Endpoint objects.
Dynamic black-box testing findings are modeled directly onto Application Endpoint objects within the Wiz Security Graph. This graph-based correlation is a core concept, unlike generating configuration findings or simply tagging results as malware.
Q4. In the context of the Wiz data security strategy, what type of permissions are required for the Wiz solution to sample mechanisms and provide continuous visibility on sensitive data?
Answer: B. Read-only permissions.
Wiz DSPM adheres to the principle of least privilege and requires only read-only permissions to sample data and provide continuous visibility. It does not need administrative or write permissions because it simply inventories and classifies the discovered resources.
Q5. When configuring an integration action (e.g., a webhook payload), template variables with a JSON structure, such as {{issue.evidence}}, must be handled carefully. How should these variables be inserted into the request body?
Answer: C. They should be inserted directly without quotation marks.
Template variables that output JSON structures must be inserted directly without any surrounding quotation marks. If you wrap them in quotes, the JSON payload will be treated as a plain string, which will break the integration request body formatting.
Q6. Which type of data ingestion must be explicitly enabled and configured separately from the standard Cloud Connector due to regulatory requirements, often necessitating the Wiz Outpost architecture?
Answer: C. Workload Scanning in China Clouds.
Due to strict data residency regulations, workload scanning in Chinese cloud environments requires an explicit Wiz Outpost deployment. This ensures that all scanning and data processing happen locally within the customer boundary, separate from the standard connector.
Q7. How does Wiz identify vulnerabilities specific to the Linux kernel version installed on a workload?
Answer: C. It identifies the latest installed kernel version via the OS package manager and checks the vendor's update stream for associated vulnerabilities.
The correct answer works because Wiz checks the OS package manager for the installed kernel version and maps it against the vendor update stream. For the exam, remember that Wiz relies on package manager data for Linux vulnerabilities, not real-time runtime sensors.
Q8. A finding related to sensitive data exposure in a public cloud resource is identified. According to Wiz's context-aware risk model, where can you analyze a summarized view of the critical data-related issues that represent 'toxic combinati…
Answer: B. The dedicated Data Security Dashboard
The dedicated Data Security Dashboard is correct because it specifically summarizes critical toxic combinations involving sensitive data findings. While you could use the Security Graph manually, the dashboard provides the out-of-the-box summarized view needed for quick prioritization.
Q9. Which type of role in Wiz can create Integrations available across all Projects, and add Automation Rules for integrations that support them?
Answer: C. Global roles
Global roles is correct because they possess the tenant-wide scope required to build integrations spanning all projects and to configure their automation rules. Project-scoped roles lack the necessary breadth, making them a common trap if you overlook cross-project requirements.
Q10. What is considered the single most important action a customer can take to keep their Wiz tenant secure, according to best practices outlined in the Shared Responsibility Model?
Answer: B. Configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML identity providers.
Configuring Single Sign-On using SAML is correct because it centralizes identity management and enforces robust access controls for the tenant. While removing expired service accounts is good hygiene, establishing SSO is the primary shared responsibility requirement.
Q11. Which set of steps best describes the overall agentless workload scanning process in a full SaaS deployment?
Answer: B. Create disk snapshot/clone -> Mount to Wiz-managed cluster in the same region -> Scan statically -> Send only security metadata to Wiz backend -> Delete disk representation.
Creating a disk snapshot to scan statically on a regional cluster is correct because it highlights the agentless out-of-band scanning process. A key exam takeaway is that Wiz only sends extracted security metadata back to its backend, never full disk contents.
Q12. When creating a new Pull Integration in Wiz that results in a new service account, which four pieces of confidential information must the user immediately copy and save from the 'New Service Account Credentials' section?
Answer: B. Client ID, Client Secret, API Endpoint URL, and API Authentication URL.
The Client ID, Client Secret, and endpoint URLs are correct because these credentials authorize external systems to pull data via the API. Remember that Wiz only displays these specific secret values once during creation, making immediate copying essential.
