Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 124

Which attack is preventable by Cisco ESA but not by the Cisco WSA?

Answer options

• A. SQL injection
• B. phishing
• C. buffer overflow
• D. DoS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Cisco ESA is specifically designed to detect and block phishing attacks by analyzing email traffic and identifying malicious links or spoofed senders. In contrast, Cisco WSA focuses on web traffic and does not have the same level of capability to prevent phishing, making it less effective against such threats.
