What is the role of an endpoint in protecting a user from a phishing attack?
What is the role of an endpoint in protecting a user from a phishing attack?
Endpoints play a critical role in ensuring user protection from phishing attacks by maintaining up-to-date antivirus and antimalware software. These tools help protect the system from malicious software that phishing attempts often aim to install once the user interacts with fraudulent messages. While machine learning models and network security measures are valuable for broader cybersecurity strategies, the fundamental protection at the endpoint level involves direct measures such as ensuring security softwares are current and capable of recognizing and mitigating threats immediately.
Picked A. The question is asking EPP, not EDR https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/what-is-endpoint-protection-platform.html#~how-an-epp-works
How do you if it is asking EPP?
So often its harder to derypt what cisco really wants to ask instead of understanding the techniques behind the services. Secure Endpoint (AMP) will consume the machine learning, anomalies etc. but its the role of the cloud. I think the only thing what can really be at the role of the Endpoint is A.
The answer is right but the question looks wrong. Should be "the role of AMP for Endpoints" and not "the role of an endpoint". Endpoints do not have any role in protecting the user. Admins, appliances and the user himself do.
It is B: Cisco Advanced Phishing Protection provides unprecedented insight into the email coming in to your organization, flowing out of your organization, and within your organization. Powered by Cisco Identity Intelligence – Cisco's unique machine learning techniques based on historical email traffic to your organization – Advanced Phishing Protection models the unique behavior of all legitimate email senders and allows you to quickly distinguish good messages from potentially bad messages. Coupled with Identity Intelligence, Cisco's platform of data – built from analyzing billions of email messages worldwide – provides you a risk overview of all messages in your organization and senders who send email into your organization.
Q was about endpoints, not ESA
I agree with B, it is the only thing that makes sense. Machine Learning can be used to detect patterns of Phishing Mails, while Anti-Virus tools will not prevent this. How can an anti-virus tool stop you from inserting your credentials into a malicious website for example ? Machine learning tools could detect this by checking URLs and detect something like am4zon.com.
answer is A
Machine Learning & Endpoint??? would be correct for Machine Learning & ESA.
Antivirus and antimalware software does not protect from phishing attacks
Ok so, the Secure Endpoint Datasheet does speak about machine learning but it seems to be for malware only. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/security/fireamp-endpoints/datasheet-c78-733181.html At no point it speaks about phishing, so it seems the only option would be A...
Should be A
I'd go with B here
Sorry about that, I'll go for A instead since I belive B belongs to Cisco Secure Email Phishing Defense: https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/security/cloud-email-security/at-a-glance-c45-740894.pdf The only remianing valid option would be A
The Q Say the rol of the endpoint, but the answers don't Match with the Question
I agree with B
It should be B
my answer: B
Machine Learning :)
Not sure between A and B, but leaning toward B. A is signatures based.
If question really is like this - about endpoint, then A
