Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 97

A network administrator is using the Cisco ESA with AMP to upload files to the cloud for analysis. The network is congested and is affecting communication. How will the Cisco ESA handle any files which need analysis?

Answer options

• A. The ESA immediately makes another attempt to upload the file.
• B. The file upload is abandoned.
• C. AMP calculates the SHA-256 fingerprint, caches it, and periodically attempts the upload.
• D. The file is queued for upload when connectivity is restored

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because when the network is congested, the Cisco ESA will abandon the upload attempt rather than retrying or queuing the file. Options A, C, and D imply that the ESA continues to attempt or store the file for future uploads, which is not how it operates under such circumstances.
