Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA) — Question 125

A network engineer is editing the default DMARC verification profile on a Cisco ESA and must ensure that the configured Message Action in the profile matches the policy in the DMARC record. What must be set to achieve this result?

Answer options

• A. “Message Action when the Policy in DMARC Record is Reject” to Reject
• B. “Message Action when the Policy in DMARC Record is None” to Quarantine
• C. “Message Action when the Policy in DMARC Record is None” to No Action
• D. “Message Action when the Policy in DMARC Record is Reject” to Quarantine

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when the DMARC record policy is set to Reject, the Message Action should also be set to Reject to enforce that policy. Options B and C do not align with the Reject policy, and option D incorrectly sets the action to Quarantine instead of Reject.
