A network engineer must tighten up the SPAM control policy of an organization due to a recent SPAM attack. In which scenario does enabling regional scanning improve security for this organization?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

According to the [Cisco Secure Email User Guide], Non-Viral threat detection is a feature of Outbreak Filters that detects and blocks email messages that contain non-viral threats such as phishing, fraud, or social engineering[1, p. 25]. To use this feature, you need to enable either AntiSpam or Intelligent Multi-Scan on your Cisco Secure Email Gateway, as these features provide the necessary scanning and filtering capabilities for Non-Viral threat detection[1, p. 26].

The other options are not valid because:

A) Non-Viral threat detection does not require Antivirus or AMP enablement to properly function. Antivirus and AMP are features that detect and block email messages that contain viral threats such as malware or ransomware[1, p. 27-28].

B) The Outbreak Filters option Graymail Header does not affect Non-Viral threat detection. Graymail Header is an option that allows you to add a header to email messages that are classified as graymail, which are messages that are not spam but may be unwanted by some recipients, such as newsletters or promotions[1, p. 25].

D) The Outbreak Filters option URL Rewriting does not affect Non-Viral threat detection. URL Rewriting is an option that allows you to rewrite the URLs in email messages to point to a Cisco proxy server, which can scan the URLs for malicious content and redirect the users to a warning page if needed[1, p. 25].

Wait, are we sure this is a real exam question? It seems a bit too straightforward. Maybe the real answer is to just unplug the entire network and go back to carrier pigeons.

Hmm, this is a tough one. Maybe I should just flip a coin? Although, I guess that would be cheating on a certification exam. Better stick to the options provided.

I think I'm going to go with Option C. If most of the email is coming from outside the U.S., then enabling regional scanning could help catch a lot of that spam before it even reaches the organization's network.

I'm not so sure. Option D looks more promising to me. If the spam is primarily originating from a specific region, then targeting that region for scanning could be more effective.

Option B seems like the obvious choice here. If most of the spam is coming from outside the U.S., then enabling regional scanning would help filter out a significant amount of that unwanted traffic.

But what if the spam is coming from multiple countries? Wouldn't it be better to enable regional scanning for emails originating outside of the U.S.?

I agree with Hermila. By focusing on a specific country, we can target the source of the spam more effectively.

I think enabling regional scanning would be most helpful when most of the received spam comes from a specific country.
