Correct answer: A

The feature that utilizes sensor information obtained from Talos intelligence to filter email servers connecting into the Cisco ESA is SenderBase Reputation Filtering.

This helps in identifying and filtering potentially harmful email traffic.

Question 5 of 214

When email authentication is configured on Cisco ESA, which two key types should be selected on the signing profile? (Choose two.)

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answers: A, C

When configuring email authentication on a Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA), the two key types that should be chosen on the signing profile are DKIM and Domain Keys. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) and Domain Keys are the primary methods used to authenticate the email sending domain. DKIM uses a digital signature to sign the emails, whereas Domain Keys is an older standard that also employs cryptographic techniques to ensure email authenticity. Both methods involve using a pair of cryptographic keys (private and public), but the selection for the signing profile specifically references the type of authentication mechanism, which in this case are DKIM and Domain Keys.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one felt worth sharing. The questions were quite close to what actually appeared on the exam, more than I expected. I spent about a week going through the material before my test, and it helped me feel more prepared.
