20+ practice questions focused on Advanced Threat And Endpoint Security — one of the most tested topics on the Cisco Automating and Programming Cisco Security Solutions (SAUTO, 300-735, CCNP Security) (SAUTO) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Advanced Threat And Endpoint Security PracticeYou are integrating Cisco SecureX with a third-party SIEM. When configuring a webhook for event notifications, which authentication method is natively supported by the SecureX webhook integration for secure delivery?
Explanation: Cisco SecureX webhook integrations natively support HMAC-SHA256 signature verification to ensure secure delivery. The sender computes an HMAC using a shared secret and includes it in the request header; the receiver validates it to confirm authenticity and integrity. This method is standard for webhook security and is explicitly supported in SecureX.
When automating threat hunting using the Cisco Umbrella Reporting API, which THREE of the following request parameters are commonly used to filter DNS query logs?
Explanation: The Cisco Umbrella Reporting API's DNS query log endpoints (e.g., /reports/v2/activity/dns) use the from and to parameters to bound the time window of the query, which is essential for threat hunting over a specific period, so options B and E are correct. The domain parameter is also a valid filter that restricts results to queries for a specific domain name, allowing hunters to pivot on suspicious domains, making option C correct. Option A (threat_score) is not a standard request filter on the DNS activity endpoint—Umbrella categorizes results via identity/security category fields rather than a threat_score query parameter. Option D (source_ip) is not the correct parameter name; Umbrella uses internalip (or identity-based filters) to filter by client IP, so source_ip does not belong.
You are automating threat hunting in Cisco SecureX. You want to execute a workflow that pivots from an IP address to associated domains. Which SecureX API component allows you to perform these relationship lookups?
Explanation: The Threat Intelligence API in Cisco SecureX provides programmatic access to threat intelligence data, including relationships between observables like IP addresses and domains. It allows you to query for associated domains given an IP address, enabling threat hunting pivots. This API is specifically designed for threat intelligence lookups and is the correct component for this task.
You are automating threat hunting using the Cisco Umbrella Investigate API. Which TWO parameters are required to perform a standard DNS lookup for a specific domain? (Choose two)
Explanation: Option C is correct because the Investigate API's domain endpoint (e.g., /investigate/v2/domains/{domain}) requires the domain name string as the resource identifier to perform the DNS lookup and return categorization, WHOIS, and related security data. Option D is correct because every Umbrella Investigate API request must be authenticated by supplying the API key in the Authorization request header (Bearer token), without which the API returns a 401 Unauthorized response. Option A is incorrect because threat category IDs are returned as part of the response data, not supplied as an input parameter for a domain lookup. Option B is incorrect because a global user ID is not an Investigate API parameter; authentication is handled by the API key, not a user identifier. Option E is incorrect because the local DNS recursive resolver IP is not a required input for the Investigate domain lookup endpoint.
You are configuring a Python script to query the Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP) API for a specific SHA-256 hash. Which API endpoint should you use to retrieve the disposition of the file?
Explanation: The /v1/file/analysis endpoint is the correct resource for retrieving file disposition and analysis status from Secure Endpoint.
