SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 106

A network administrator reviews the file report for the last month and notices that all file types, except exe, show a disposition of unknown. What is the cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. Only Spero file analysis is enabled.
• B. The Cisco FMC cannot reach the Internet to analyze files.
• C. A file policy has not been applied to the access policy.
• D. The malware license has not been applied to the Cisco FTD.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because if only Spero file analysis is enabled, it would not analyze other file types, resulting in their disposition being marked as unknown. Option B is incorrect because if the FMC cannot reach the Internet, it would affect all file types, not just non-exe files. Option C is not the cause since a file policy is not required for exe files to be analyzed. Option D is also incorrect; the malware license affects detection capabilities but does not specifically lead to an unknown disposition for non-exe files.
