Question #: 80
Topic #: 6

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?

ANon-Viral threat detection requires Antivirus or AMP enablement to properly function

BThe Outbreak Filters option Graymail Header must be enabled

CNon-Viral threat detection requires AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan enablement to properly function.

DThe Outbreak Filters option URL Rewriting must be enabled.

Show Suggested 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 think the reason Non-Viral threat detection is not working is because it requires AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan enablement.

I'm not sure, but maybe the Outbreak Filters option Graymail Header must be enabled for Non-Viral threat detection to work.

I agree with Sharee, Non-Viral threat detection definitely needs Antivirus or AMP enablement.

That's a good point, Maybe the Graymail Header setting is necessary for Non-Viral threat detection.

Haha, 'your money's on C', eh? I like your confidence, but I'm not so sure. What if it's actually option A - 'Non-Viral threat detection requires Antivirus or AMP enablement to properly function'? That would make more sense to me.

Okay, let's think this through. The question states that Non-Viral threat detection is not working, so the answer must be related to that specific functionality. My money's on option C - 'Non-Viral threat detection requires AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan enablement to properly function.'

Let's double check and see if enabling AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan solves the problem.

I agree, the question could be worded a bit more clearly. But from what I can gather, it sounds like the administrator has enabled Viral and Non-Viral threat detection, yet only Viral threats are being detected. That's certainly a strange issue.

I'm leaning towards option A. Non-Viral threat detection requires Antivirus or AMP enablement to properly function. That seems like a reasonable requirement for the Outbreak Filters to work effectively.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not sure if I fully understand the scenario being described here. Does the Outbreak Filters Global Service Setting only detect Viral threats, and we're supposed to figure out why it's not detecting Non-Viral threats?

Ah, I see. So the Outbreak Filters are only detecting viral threats, and not non-viral ones. That makes sense, but I'm not sure why that would be the case. Maybe we need to dig deeper into the configuration settings.
