Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA) — Question 141

Which action do Outbreak Filters take to stop small-scale and nonviral attacks, such as phishing scams and malware distribution sites?

Answer options

• A. Block all emails from email domains associated with potentially harmful websites.
• B. Strip all attachments from email domains associated with potentially harmful websites.
• C. Rewrite URLs to redirect traffic to potentially harmful websites through a web security proxy.
• D. Quarantine messages that contain links to potentially harmful websites until the site is taken offline.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Outbreak Filters specifically quarantine messages that link to harmful websites, preventing users from accessing these threats. Options A and B do not address the issue of links, while option C actually directs traffic to harmful sites, which is counterproductive to the goal of protecting users.
