A security administrator is implementing Cisco AMP for Endpoints and wants to identify files that were initially allowed but later determined to be malicious. Which feature allows the administrator to see the propagation of such a file across the environment?
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.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Device Trajectory
Device Trajectory in Cisco AMP for Endpoints provides a timeline of file activity, showing where a file originated and how it spread, which is critical for retrospective security analysis.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exploit Prevention
Why it's wrong here
Exploit Prevention focuses on blocking memory injection attacks, not tracking file propagation.
- ✗
IOC Scanning
Why it's wrong here
IOC Scanning identifies static indicators of compromise (hashes, IPs, domains) against files already on endpoints, but it does not track the propagation of a file across the environment over time. It is tempting because IOC Scanning does detect known malicious files, which might seem to address the need to identify initially allowed files that later proved malicious. However, it would be the correct choice only if the goal were to perform a one-time sweep for known bad indicators, not to map the spread of a file that was previously permitted.
- ✓
Device Trajectory
Why this is correct
Device Trajectory shows the timeline and spread of a file across endpoints, enabling retrospective analysis.
- ✗
SHA-256 Disposition
Why it's wrong here
SHA-256 disposition indicates whether a file is clean, malicious, or unknown, but does not show propagation.
