Securing Email with Cisco Email Security Appliance (SESA) — Question 97

A network administrator has enabled virus scanning with the Sophos antivirus engine and set the “drop infected mail” option on a Cisco ESA; however, end users are still complaining about the large number of phishing emails they receive. What must be done to resolve this problem?

Answer options

• A. Configure Reputation Filtering
• B. Configure Content Filtering
• C. Configure Outbreak Filtering
• D. Change the antivirus engine to McAfee.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Configuring Content Filtering is essential as it allows the system to analyze the content of emails for phishing characteristics, not just viruses. While Reputation Filtering and Outbreak Filtering can help, they do not specifically target the content of phishing emails. Changing the antivirus engine to McAfee is irrelevant to the issue of phishing emails.
