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
Cisco AMP uses retrospective security to continuously analyze file behavior. If a file is later deemed malicious, the Device Trajectory shows its propagation path and actions, allowing for containment and remediation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
SHA-256 file disposition
Why it's wrong here
SHA-256 disposition classifies files as clean, malicious, or unknown but does not track historical file behavior.
- ✗
Exploit Prevention
Why it's wrong here
Exploit Prevention protects against memory injection attacks but does not track files after execution.
- ✓
Device Trajectory
Why this is correct
Device Trajectory provides a timeline of file activity, enabling retrospective analysis and visibility into file propagation.
- ✗
Endpoint IOC scanning
Why it's wrong here
IOC scanning searches for known indicators of compromise but does not provide retrospective tracking of file propagation.
