Question 357 of 500
Endpoint Protection and DetectionhardMultiple SelectObjective-mapped

Quick Answer

The answer is Device Trajectory, which is a core capability of Cisco Threat Response that integrates endpoint telemetry for accelerated detection and response. This feature ingests data from Cisco Secure Endpoint to create a visual timeline of events—such as process executions, file modifications, and network connections—on a specific endpoint, allowing analysts to reconstruct the sequence of an attack quickly. On the Cisco SCOR 350-701 exam, this concept tests your understanding of how CTR leverages endpoint telemetry to shorten dwell time and improve investigation efficiency. A common trap is confusing Device Trajectory with Casebook creation; while Casebooks document and share investigation steps, Device Trajectory is the telemetry-driven timeline that powers the actual detection. Remember the mnemonic “Trajectory Tells the Timeline” to recall that Device Trajectory is the endpoint telemetry visualization tool, not the documentation feature.

350-701 Endpoint Protection and Detection Practice Question

This 350-701 practice question tests your understanding of endpoint protection and detection. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.

Which THREE of the following are capabilities of Cisco Threat Response (CTR) that integrate with endpoint telemetry for accelerated detection and response?

Correct answer & explanation

Device Trajectory to visualize the timeline of events on an endpoint

Device Trajectory is a core capability of Cisco Threat Response (CTR) that ingests endpoint telemetry from Cisco Secure Endpoint (formerly AMP for Endpoints). It visualizes a timeline of events—such as process executions, file modifications, and network connections—on a specific endpoint, enabling security analysts to quickly reconstruct the sequence of an attack and accelerate detection and response.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Real-time blocking of malicious processes at the endpoint

    Why it's wrong here

    Real-time blocking is performed by the AMP endpoint agent, not CTR.

  • Device Trajectory to visualize the timeline of events on an endpoint

    Why this is correct

    Device Trajectory is a key feature in AMP/CTR for reconstructing events.

  • Centralized search across endpoint, network, and email telemetry

    Why this is correct

    CTR aggregates telemetry from multiple sources for unified search.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • Automatic deployment of software patches to endpoints

    Why it's wrong here

    Patch management is outside CTR's scope; it focuses on detection and response.

  • Casebook creation to document investigation steps and share with team

    Why this is correct

    CTR allows creating casebooks to track investigations.

Common exam traps

Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword

The trap here is that candidates confuse the capabilities of the endpoint protection agent (e.g., real-time blocking or patching) with the investigative and orchestration functions of Cisco Threat Response, which is a separate cloud service that aggregates telemetry but does not perform active prevention or remediation actions.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

CTR's Device Trajectory leverages the Cisco Secure Endpoint connector to collect and correlate endpoint events, storing them in a time-series database that supports queries across process GUIDs, file hashes, and network flows. In a real-world scenario, an analyst investigating a ransomware outbreak can use Device Trajectory to identify the initial execution point (e.g., a malicious macro), trace lateral movement via SMB connections, and determine the exact timestamp of file encryption—all without needing to pivot to separate logs.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
  • Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
  • Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.

TExam Day Tips

  • Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
  • Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.

Key takeaway

Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example

How this comes up in practice

A small business has 20 workstations on the 192.168.1.0/24 network and one public IP from its ISP. The router uses PAT (NAT overload) so all 20 devices share one public address using different source ports. NAT questions test whether you understand the four address terms and which direction each translation applies.
