Correct answers: A, B, E
Explanation
Cisco Secure Endpoint and Cisco Secure Network Analytics play complementary roles in forensic analysis and incident response. Secure Endpoint focuses on endpoint-level threat detection and remediation, while Secure Network Analytics provides network visibility and anomaly detection. Both are critical for identifying and analyzing threats during an incident, as well as for supporting forensic investigations.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Cisco Secure Endpoint is designed to detect, contain, and mitigate endpoint-level threats during an incident, making it essential for endpoint protection in forensic analysis and incident response.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Cisco Secure Network Analytics focuses on monitoring and analyzing network traffic for anomalies and potential security threats, providing critical insights during an investigation.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Cisco Secure Endpoint is not specifically designed for encrypting sensitive data. Its primary role is to protect and monitor endpoints for threats.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While Cisco Secure Network Analytics provides detection capabilities, it does not automatically block malicious files on endpoints. Blocking mechanisms are typically handled by Cisco Secure Endpoint or other integrated solutions.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Cisco Secure Endpoint logs detailed endpoint activity, which is vital for reconstructing events and performing forensic analysis.
