Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-720 exam
Question #: 85
Topic #: 16
[All 300-720 Questions]

A Cisco Secure Email Gateway administrator recently enabled the Outbreak Filters Global Service Setting to detect Viral as well as Non-Viral threat detection, with no detection of Non-viral threats after 24 hours of monitoring Outbreak Filters What is the reason that Non-Viral threat detection is not detecting any positive verdicts?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

According to the [Cisco Secure Email User Guide], Non-Viral threat detection is a feature of Outbreak Filters that detects and blocks email messages that contain non-viral threats such as phishing, fraud, or social engineering[1, p. 25]. To use this feature, you need to enable either AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan on your Cisco Secure Email Gateway, as these features provide the necessary scanning and filtering capabilities for Non-Viral threat detection[1, p. 26].

The other options are not valid because:

A) Non-Viral threat detection does not require Antivirus or AMP enablement to properly function. Antivirus and AMP are features that detect and block email messages that contain viral threats such as malware or ransomware[1, p. 27-28].

B) The Outbreak Filters option Graymail Header does not affect Non-Viral threat detection. Graymail Header is an option that allows you to add a header to email messages that are classified as graymail, which are messages that are not spam but may be unwanted by some recipients, such as newsletters or promotions[1, p. 25].

D) The Outbreak Filters option URL Rewriting does not affect Non-Viral threat detection. URL Rewriting is an option that allows you to rewrite the URLs in email messages to point to a Cisco proxy server, which can scan the URLs for malicious content and redirect the users to a warning page if needed[1, p. 25].

I'm with Alease on this one. The Cisco folks definitely have a sense of humor. But C seems like the most logical answer here. You can't just rely on the Outbreak Filters alone, you need that extra layer of protection to catch the non-viral stuff.

Haha, this question is a real head-scratcher. Maybe the Cisco engineers were having a bit too much fun when they wrote this one. But in all seriousness, I think C is the way to go. Non-viral threats are tricky little buggers, and you need the right tools to catch them.

Yeah, I think you're right. It's important to have the proper tools in place to effectively detect those non-viral threats.

I agree, C seems like the most logical choice. Non-viral threats can be sneaky, so having AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan enabled makes sense.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Shouldn't the Outbreak Filters Global Service Setting be enough to detect both viral and non-viral threats? I'm leaning more towards A, but I'll have to think this through a bit more.

I think the answer is C. Non-Viral threat detection requires AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan enablement to properly function. It makes sense that you need those additional security features to detect non-viral threats.

I think the reason Non-Viral threat detection is not detecting any positive verdicts is because it requires Antivirus or AMP enablement to properly function.
