To address this issue, the administrator should roll back to a previous version of the engine from the Services Overview page on Cisco ESA. This will restore the functionality of graymail service and prevent it from crashing.
The Services Overview page allows the administrator to view and manage various services on Cisco ESA, such as antivirus, outbreak filters, graymail, etc., and perform actions such as enable/disable, update, or roll back.
The other options are not valid solutions to address this issue, because they do not allow the administrator to roll back to a previous version of the engine for graymail service.

An administrator has created a content filter to quarantine all messages that result in an SPF hardfail to review the messages and determine whether a trusted partner has accidentally misconfigured the DNS settings. The administrator sets the policy quarantine to release the messages after 24 hours, allowing time to review while not interrupting business.

Which additional option should be used to help the end users be aware of the elevated risk of interacting with these messages?

  1. Notify Recipient
  2. Strip Attachments
  3. Notify Sender
  4. Modify Subject

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Modify Subject is an additional option that should be used to help the end users be aware of the elevated risk of interacting with these messages. Modify Subject allows the administrator to add a prefix or suffix to the message subject, such as "[SPF Fail]", to indicate that the message has failed the SPF verification and may be fraudulent or spoofed. The other options are not valid additional options to help the end users be aware of the elevated risk of interacting with these messages, because they do not affect the message subject or provide any warning to the end users.

A company has deployed a new mandate that requires all emails sent externally from the Sales

Department to be scanned by DLP for PCI-DSS compliance. A new DLP policy has been created on the Cisco ESA and needs to be assigned to a mail policy named `Sales' that has yet to be created.

Which mail policy should be created to accomplish this task?

  1. Outgoing Mail Policy
  2. Preliminary Mail Policy
  3. Incoming Mail Flow Policy
  4. Outgoing Mail Flow Policy

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Outgoing Mail Policy is a mail policy that should be created to accomplish this task. Outgoing Mail Policy is a set of rules that determine how outgoing messages are processed by Cisco ESA, including whether to apply DLP scanning or not.
To create an Outgoing Mail Policy named `Sales' and assign a DLP policy to it, the administrator can follow these steps:
Select Mail Policies > Outgoing Mail Policies and click Add Policy.
Enter `Sales' as the policy name and click Submit.
Select `Sales' from the list of policies and click Edit Settings. Under Data Loss Prevention, select Enable Data Loss Prevention Scanning and choose the DLP policy from the drop-down menu.
Click Submit.
The other options are not valid mail policies to accomplish this task, because they do not apply to outgoing messages or DLP scanning.
