Question 843 of 978
350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
An organization wants to implement endpoint protection that uses behavioral analysis to detect ransomware. The solution must be able to roll back changes made by the ransomware after detection. Which Cisco endpoint security feature provides this capability?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between prevention (blocking before execution) and remediation (rolling back after execution), so candidates may confuse file reputation or application blocking with the rollback capability, missing that only behavioral analysis with rollback addresses post-infection recovery.
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
✓
Exploit prevention with ransomware rollback
Cisco's endpoint protection includes a behavioral analysis engine that monitors for ransomware-like activities (e.g., mass file encryption, rapid file modifications). Upon detection, the feature automatically triggers a rollback, restoring affected files to their pre-encryption state using Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshots or similar mechanisms, effectively reversing the ransomware's changes.
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 with ransomware rollback
Why this is correct
Exploit prevention uses behavioral analysis to detect ransomware and can roll back file changes automatically.
- ✗
File reputation scanning
Why it's wrong here
File reputation checks file hashes against a known database but does not provide behavioral analysis or rollback.
- ✗
Device flow telemetry
Why it's wrong here
Device flow telemetry provides network visibility but not endpoint behavioral detection or rollback.
- ✗
Application blocking via policy
Why it's wrong here
Application blocking prevents execution but does not detect ransomware behavior or roll back changes.
