350-701 Practice Question: A network administrator is deploying Cisco AMP…
A network administrator is deploying Cisco AMP for Endpoints to protect against advanced malware. They want to ensure that if a file is initially allowed but later determined to be malicious, the file is automatically blocked and quarantined on all endpoints that have executed it. Which AMP feature should be configured?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse TETRA (a network-based exploit detection engine) with endpoint-based retrospective file quarantine, or they assume File Analysis alone provides automatic retroactive remediation without understanding that it requires the Retrospective Security feature to be explicitly enabled.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Retrospective Security (Retrospective)
Retrospective Security (Retrospective) is the correct feature because it allows Cisco AMP for Endpoints to re-evaluate files that were initially allowed based on local or cloud reputation. If a file is later determined to be malicious via updated threat intelligence, Retrospective Security automatically blocks and quarantines that file on all endpoints that have executed it, even after the initial execution. This provides continuous protection against advanced malware that evades initial detection.
