Cisco Secure Firewall ASA is a solid choice, but Firepower is probably the more targeted solution for this specific threat. It's like trying to use a butter knife to perform open-heart surgery.

Haha, the Cisco Secure Web Appliance (WSA) is probably not the best choice here. Unless the attacker is using the web browser to access the command and control server, it won't be much help in this scenario.

I'm not so sure. Cisco Secure Email Gateway (ESA) could also be a good option to monitor and block any suspicious email attachments or links that could be used for the initial malware infection.

Definitely Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (Firepower). It's designed to detect and alert on command and control communication, which is exactly what the organization needs to prevent this attack from happening again.
