Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
SSL/TLS decryption on the proxy
Why it's wrong here
While Umbrella cloud proxy can decrypt SSL, the question asks for features that block malicious links; decryption alone doesn't block.
- ✗
ThousandEyes agents
Why it's wrong here
ThousandEyes provides visibility into application performance, not security blocking.
- ✓
Cloud proxy with URL filtering
Why this is correct
Inspects web traffic and can block malicious URLs even if the domain is not blocked by DNS.
- ✓
DNS security layer
Why this is correct
Blocks requests to known malicious domains before connection is established.
- ✗
AMP for mobile devices
Why it's wrong here
AMP for mobile is a separate feature for mobile device malware protection, not part of Umbrella SIG's core web security.
