Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA) — Question 103

A network engineer is implementing a virus outbreak filter on a Cisco ESA by using the Outbreak Filters feature with plans to perform an additional scan by using a content filter. Which action must be taken by the Outbreak Filters?

Answer options

• A. Scan processed messages by using two engines simultaneously.
• B. Send a copy of messages to quarantine.
• C. Send processed messages to the Cisco ESA.
• D. Scan processed messages by using a secondary instance of the Cisco ESA.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the Outbreak Filters are designed to send processed messages back to the Cisco ESA for additional handling. Options A, B, and D do not accurately represent the primary function of Outbreak Filters, which focuses on sending the messages to the Cisco ESA rather than scanning with multiple engines, quarantining messages, or utilizing a secondary instance.
