Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA) — Question 90

Spreadsheets containing credit card numbers are being allowed to bypass the Cisco ESA.

Which outgoing mail policy feature should be configured to catch this content before it leaves the network?

Answer options

• A. file reputation filtering
• B. outbreak filtering
• C. data loss prevention
• D. file analysis

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, data loss prevention, as it is specifically designed to identify and protect sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, from being sent outside the network. The other options do not focus on identifying sensitive data; for instance, file reputation filtering (A) assesses the safety of files, outbreak filtering (B) deals with threats from malware outbreaks, and file analysis (D) evaluates files but does not prevent data loss.
