350-701 Practice Question: During a security incident, an analyst needs to…
During a security incident, an analyst needs to isolate a compromised endpoint and perform remote forensic analysis using Cisco AMP for Endpoints. Which capability allows the analyst to execute commands on the endpoint remotely?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between reactive containment actions (like file quarantine or process isolation) and interactive investigation capabilities (like remote shell), leading candidates to confuse process isolation with remote command execution.
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
✓
Remote shell investigation
Remote shell investigation is the correct answer because Cisco AMP for Endpoints includes a feature that allows an analyst to establish a secure, encrypted shell session directly with the compromised endpoint. This enables the execution of arbitrary commands for live remote forensic analysis without requiring additional tools or manual intervention on the endpoint.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Remote shell investigation
Why this is correct
Remote shell investigation enables command execution on the endpoint for analysis.
- ✗
Device Trajectory
Why it's wrong here
Device Trajectory is a visualization tool, not a remote shell.
- ✗
File quarantine
Why it's wrong here
File quarantine isolates files, not remote command execution.
- ✗
Process isolation
Why it's wrong here
Process isolation terminates processes but does not provide remote shell access.
