An engineer wants to ensure that emails received by company users that contain URLs do not make them susceptible to data loss from accessing malicious or undesired external content sources Which two features must be configured on Cisco Secure Email Gateway to meet this requirement1? (Choose two.)

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, D

To meet the requirement of ensuring that emails received by company users that contain URLs do not make them susceptible to data loss from accessing malicious or undesired external content sources, the administrator must configure two features on Cisco Secure Email Gateway: antispam scanning and URL filtering. Antispam scanning can block or quarantine messages that are identified as spam based on various criteria, such as sender reputation, message content, and message headers. URL filtering can rewrite or defang URLs in messages that are associated with malicious or undesirable websites, such as phishing, malware, adult, or gambling sites.Reference: [Cisco Secure Email Gateway Administrator Guide - Configuring Antispam Scanning] and [Cisco Secure Email Gateway Administrator Guide - Configuring URL Filtering]


Question No. 5

When a network engineer is troubleshooting a mail flow issue, they discover that some emails are rejected with an SMTP code of 451 and the error message "#4.7.1 Unable to perform DMARC verification". In the DMARC verification profile on the Cisco Secure Email Gateway appliance, which action must be set for messages that result in temporary failure to prevent these emails from being rejected?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

Accept is the action that must be set for messages that result in temporary failure to prevent these emails from being rejected. Accept allows Cisco ESA to deliver the messages without applying any DMARC actions or modifications.

To configure the accept action for messages that result in temporary failure on Cisco ESA, the administrator can follow these steps:

Select Mail Policies > DMARC Verification Profile and click Edit Settings for the DMARC verification profile that applies to the messages.

Under DMARC Actions, select Accept from the drop-down menu for Messages That Result in Temporary Failure.

Click Submit.

The other options are not valid actions for messages that result in temporary failure to prevent these emails from being rejected, because they either apply DMARC actions or modifications or do nothing.
