Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 14

Which two endpoint measures are used to minimize the chances of falling victim to phishing and social engineering attacks? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Patch for cross-site scripting.
• B. Perform backups to the private cloud.
• C. Protect against input validation and character escapes in the endpoint.
• D. Install a spam and virus email filter.
• E. Protect systems with an up-to-date antimalware program.

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers, D and E, are crucial for protecting against phishing and social engineering. A spam and virus email filter helps block malicious emails, while an up-to-date antimalware program defends the system from various threats. The other options, while important for security, do not directly target the prevention of phishing and social engineering attacks.
