Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA) — Question 83

An organization has a strict policy on URLs embedded in emails. The policy allows visibility into what the URL is but does not allow the user to click it. Which action must be taken to meet the requirements of the security policy?

Answer options

• A. Defang the URL.
• B. Enable the URL quarantine policy.
• C. Replace the URL with text.
• D. Redirect the URL to the Cisco security proxy.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Defanging the URL modifies it in a way that makes it visible but not clickable, thus adhering to the security policy. Enabling a URL quarantine policy would isolate the URL instead of showing it, while replacing the URL with text does not provide the required visibility. Redirecting to the Cisco security proxy would still allow clicking on the URL, which violates the policy.
