Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 472

What is a benefit of using Cisco Umbrella?

Answer options

• A. Files are scanned for viruses before they are allowed to run.
• B. All Internet traffic is encrypted.
• C. It prevents malicious inbound traffic.
• D. Attacks can be mitigated before the application connection occurs.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, highlights that Cisco Umbrella can stop threats before they reach an application, providing proactive security. Option A is incorrect because scanning files for viruses isn't a primary feature of Cisco Umbrella. Option B is misleading as not all Internet traffic is encrypted by default. Option C is also not accurate as Cisco Umbrella focuses more on preventing outbound threats rather than just filtering inbound traffic.
