Discuss Cisco 300-215 Exam Topic 2 Question 107

Refer to the exhibit.

AEvaluate the artifacts in Cisco Secure Malware Analytics.

BEvaluate the file activity in Cisco Umbrella.

CAnalyze the registry activity section in Cisco Umbrella.

DAnalyze the activity paths in Cisco Secure Malware Analytics.

Suggested Answer: A

The correct next step in analyzing the malicious nature of the email is to evaluate the artifacts in Cisco Secure Malware Analytics (formerly Threat Grid). This tool provides a comprehensive sandbox environment where behavioral indicators like file execution, registry access, and domain connections are logged and scored.

The exhibit shows:

Remote PowerShell execution

Executable download from a flagged domain

SHA256 hash linked to malware

All these artifacts, as labeled in the Secure Malware Analytics output, are key indicators of compromise, and analyzing them further can confirm whether the email was part of a malicious campaign.

Thus, the best action is: A . Evaluate the artifacts in Cisco Secure Malware Analytics.
