Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 608

Which email security feature protects users from phishing attempts?

Answer options

• A. anti-malware file scanning
• B. intrusion prevention
• C. reputation-based filtering
• D. malicious signature detection

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Reputation-based filtering is effective in identifying and blocking emails from sources that are known to be associated with phishing attempts. The other options, such as anti-malware file scanning and malicious signature detection, focus on identifying harmful attachments or signatures rather than assessing the reputation of the sender.
