Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
Safe Attachments
Safe Attachments protects against malicious attachments, not email impersonation.
B
Distractor review
Safe Links
Safe Links checks URLs in messages and Office documents for malicious links, not sender impersonation.
C
Best answer
Impersonation protection
Impersonation protection is part of anti-phishing policies and allows you to define users (e.g., CEO) and domains to protect against impersonation.
D
Distractor review
Spoof intelligence
Spoof intelligence detects email from spoofed domains but does not protect against impersonation of specific individuals.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Technical deep dive
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
- PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
- Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
- NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
- Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
- Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
- Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
