How does the graymail safe unsubscribe feature function?

  1. It strips the malicious content of the URI before unsubscribing.
  2. It checks the URI reputation and category and allows the content filter to take an action on it.
  3. It redirects the end user who clicks the unsubscribe button to a sandbox environment to allow a safe unsubscribe.
  4. It checks the reputation of the URI and performs the unsubscribe process on behalf of the end user.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Secure unsubscribe option for end users. Mimicking an unsubscribe option is a popular phishing technique. For this reason, the end users are generally wary of clicking unknown unsubscribe links. For such scenarios, the cloud-based Unsubscribe Service extracts the original unsubscribe URI, checks the reputation of the URI, and then performs the unsubscribe process on behalf of the end user. This protects end users from malicious threats masquerading as unsubscribe links. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/esa/esa14-2- 1/User_Guide/b_ESA_Admin_Guide_14-2-

An administrator is trying to enable centralized PVO but receives the error, "Unable to proceed with Centralized Policy, Virus and Outbreak Quarantines configuration as esa1 in Cluster has content filters / DLP actions available at a level different from the cluster level."

What is the cause of this error?

  1. Content filters are configured at the machine-level on esa1.
  2. DLP is configured at the cluster-level on esa2.
  3. DLP is configured at the domain-level on esa1.
  4. DLP is not configured on host1.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The PVO cannot be enabled and shows this type of error message.

Unable to proceed with Centralized Policy, Virus and Outbreak Quarantines configuration as host1 and host2 in Cluster have content filters / DLP actions available at a level different from the cluster Level. The error message can indicate that one of the hosts does not have a DLP feature key applied and DLP is disabled. The solution is to add the missing feature key and apply DLP settings identical as on the host that has the feature key applied. This feature key inconsistency might have the same effect with Outbreak Filters, Sophos Antivirus, and other feature keys.

Which feature must be configured before an administrator can use the outbreak filter for nonviral threats?

  1. quarantine threat level
  2. antispam
  3. data loss prevention
  4. antivirus

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The feature that must be configured before an administrator can use the outbreak filter for nonviral threats is antispam. The outbreak filter relies on the antispam engine to detect and block nonviral threats, such as phishing, malware, or spam campaigns. You need to enable antispam scanning and configure the antispam settings before you can use the outbreak filter.

Which type of attack is prevented by configuring file reputation filtering and file analysis features?

  1. denial of service
  2. zero-day
  3. backscatter
  4. phishing

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The type of attack that is prevented by configuring file reputation filtering and file analysis features is zero-day. Zero-day attacks are those that exploit unknown vulnerabilities in software or systems before they are patched or fixed. File reputation filtering and file analysis features help to protect against zero-day attacks by checking the reputation of files attached to email messages and sending them to a cloud-based service for dynamic analysis.

When DKIM signing is configured, which DNS record must be updated to load the DKIM public signing key?

  1. AAAA record
  2. PTR record
  3. TXT record
  4. MX record

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) signing is configured on Cisco ESA, the DNS record that must be updated to load the DKIM public signing key is the TXT record. The TXT record is used to store arbitrary text information in the DNS, such as the DKIM public key, which can be retrieved by the recipients to verify the DKIM signature in the message header.
