 PAC files are scripts that tell web browsers how to use proxies on the network. They use if-else statements to determine whether to use a proxy or a direct connection for traffic between the PC and the host, based on criteria such as the destination URL, the source IP address, or the network subnet12. The WSA can host PAC files on port 9001 by default, and this port can be changed in the PAC file hosting settings2. If the WSA host port is changed, the default port does not redirect web traffic to the correct port automatically; the browser needs to point to the new port in the PAC file URL2. The WSA does not host PAC files on port 6001 by default2. PAC files do not direct traffic through a proxy when the PC and the host are on the same subnet by default; this behavior depends on the PAC file logic12. References:

Explanation

Phishing is a form of social engineering. Phishing attacks use email or malicious web sites to solicit personal,

often financial, information. Attackers may send email seemingly from a reputable credit card company or

financial institution that requests account information, often suggesting that there is a problem.

You can also monitor on-premises networks in your organizations using Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud. In order to do so, you need to deploy at least one Cisco Stealthwatch Cloud Sensor appliance (virtual or physical appliance).

 Cisco Advanced Phishing Protection (AAP) is a solution that adds sophisticated machine learning capabilities to Cisco Email Security to block advanced identity deception attacks for inbound email by assessing its threat posture1. It also uses both global and local telemetry data combined with analytics and modeling to validate the reputation and authenticity of senders2. AAP provides sender authentication and BEC detection capabilities, and uses advanced machine learning techniques, real-time behavior analytics, relationship modeling and telemetry to protect against identity deception–based threats3.

In two ways, the Cisco Advanced Phishing Protection solution protects users:

It prevents use of compromised accounts and social engineering. AAP detects and blocks phishing emails that attempt to impersonate legitimate senders, such as executives, partners, or customers, and trick users into revealing sensitive information or transferring funds. AAP analyzes the sender’s identity, behavior, and relationship with the recipient, and assigns a risk score to the email. If the email is deemed suspicious or malicious, AAP can quarantine it, flag it, or deliver it with a warning4.

It automatically removes malicious emails from users’ inbox. AAP provides retrospective analysis and remediation capabilities, which means that it can identify and remove emails that were initially delivered but later found to be malicious. AAP leverages the Cisco Talos threat intelligence network and the Sensor-based solution to continuously monitor the threat landscape and update the email disposition accordingly. If an email is reclassified as malicious, AAP can automatically delete it from the users’ inbox, or notify the administrator or the user to take action45.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the functions of AAP. AAP does not prevent all zero-day attacks coming from the Internet, as it focuses on phishing and identity deception attacks. AAP does not prevent trojan horse malware using sensors, as sensors are used to collect and analyze email data, not to block malware. AAP does not secure all passwords that are shared in video conferences, as it is not related to video conferencing security. Therefore, the correct answer is A and C. References:

Explanation

Micro-segmentation secures applications by expressly allowing particular application traffic and, by default,

denying all other traffic. Micro-segmentation is the foundation for implementing a zero-trust security model for

application workloads in the data center and cloud.

Cisco Tetration is an application workload security platform designed to secure your compute instances across

any infrastructure and any cloud. To achieve this, it uses behavior and attribute-driven microsegmentation

policy generation and enforcement. It enables trusted access through automated, exhaustive context from

various systems to automatically adapt security policies.

To generate accurate microsegmentation policy, Cisco Tetration performs application dependency mapping to

discover the relationships between different application tiers and infrastructure services. In addition, the

platform supports “what-if” policy analysis using real-time data or historical data to assist in the validation and risk assessment of policy application pre-enforcement to ensure ongoing application availability. The

normalized microsegmentation policy can be enforced through the application workload itself for a consistent approach to workload microsegmentation across any environment, including virtualized, bare-metal, and container workloads running in any public cloud or any data center. Once the microsegmentation policy is enforced, Cisco Tetration continues to monitor for compliance deviations, ensuring the segmentation policy is up to date as the application behavior change.

AES encryption is a symmetric block cipher algorithm that uses a single key to encrypt and decrypt data. It is more secure than 3DES, which is an older and slower algorithm that encrypts and decrypts a key three times in sequence. AES can use different key sizes, such as 128, 192, or 256 bits, depending on the security level required. The longer the key, the more rounds of encryption and decryption are performed, making it harder to break. AES encryption is based on a substitution-permutation network, which consists of a series of operations that transform the input data into the output data using the key. References :=

Each rule also has an action, which determines whether you monitor, trust, block, or allow matching traffic.

Note: With action “trust”, Firepower does not do any more inspection on the traffic. There will be no intrusion protection and also no file-policy on this traffic.
