350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question
During a threat hunt, you need to retrieve forensic data from a remote endpoint that is currently not communicating with the AMP cloud. Which Cisco tool enables you to perform an on-demand scan and collect telemetry from that endpoint even when it is offline?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between cloud-dependent tools (like AMP Console) and those with offline capabilities (like Orbital), so the trap here is assuming that the AMP Console can perform on-demand scans on non-communicating endpoints when it actually requires active cloud connectivity for any interactive action.
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
✓
Cisco Orbital
Cisco Orbital is the correct answer because it is a remote endpoint investigation and response tool that can execute live queries, on-demand scans, and collect forensic telemetry from endpoints even when they are not currently communicating with the AMP cloud. It uses a lightweight agent that caches queries locally and returns results once connectivity is restored, enabling offline data collection.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Cisco Threat Response
Why it's wrong here
Threat Response is a case management and investigation platform, not an endpoint data collector.
- ✗
Cisco Stealthwatch
Why it's wrong here
Stealthwatch monitors network flows, not endpoint data.
- ✓
Cisco Orbital
Why this is correct
Orbital provides advanced endpoint querying and can execute on-demand or scheduled tasks even if endpoint is offline.
- ✗
Cisco AMP Console
Why it's wrong here
The AMP console shows data from endpoints that are currently connected; does not collect data from offline endpoints.
