Question 750 of 978
350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
An organization wants to prevent malware from executing on endpoints by using a file reputation service. Which Cisco technology provides cloud-based file reputation and analysis for endpoint protection?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between network-based file inspection (Firepower NGFW with AMP for Networks) and endpoint-based file reputation (Secure Endpoint), so candidates mistakenly choose Firepower NGFW because they associate 'file reputation' with the firewall's AMP feature, not realizing the question specifies 'endpoints' and 'cloud-based file reputation and analysis' for endpoint protection.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Cisco Secure Endpoint (AMP for Endpoints)
Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints) is the correct answer because it provides cloud-based file reputation and analysis through its Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) cloud. This service uses global threat intelligence and machine learning to analyze file behavior, assign reputation scores, and block or quarantine malicious files on endpoints in real time.
