I believe the Secure Email Gateway is more for email threats, so it probably wouldn’t help with this specific issue. Firepower seems like the most appropriate option.

I’m a bit confused because I thought the Secure Web Appliance was more focused on web traffic filtering. Does it also handle command and control alerts?

I feel pretty confident about this one. Based on the description of the attack, I think the Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense (Firepower) solution would be the best choice. It's designed for advanced threat detection and should be able to identify and alert on the command and control traffic.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. I'm going to think through each option and consider which one is most likely to have the capabilities to monitor for and alert on command and control communications. That should help me narrow it down.
