Question #: 88
Topic #: 3

A network administrator notices that SI events are not being updated The Cisco FTD device is unable to load all of the SI event entries and traffic is not being blocked as expected. What must be done to correct this issue?

ARestart the affected devices in order to reset the configurations

BManually update the SI event entries to that the appropriate traffic is blocked

CReplace the affected devices with devices that provide more memory

DRedeploy configurations to affected devices so that additional memory is allocated to the SI module

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A low-impact attack indicates that the host is not vulnerable to those attacks.A low-impact attack is an attack that does not exploit any known vulnerability on the target host or does not match any signature or anomaly rule on the FTD device5. A low-impact attack does not mean that the attack is not dangerous to the network or that the host is not within the administrator's environment. It simply means that the attack did not succeed in compromising or affecting the host.

The other options are incorrect because:

All attacks are not listed as low until manually categorized.The FTD device automatically assigns an impact level to each attack based on various factors, such as vulnerability information, threat score, and confidence rating5. The impact level can be high, medium, or low, depending on how likely and how severe the attack is.

The attacks are not necessarily harmless to the network.A low-impact attack may still cause some damage or disruption to the network, such as consuming bandwidth, generating noise, or distracting attention from other attacks6.A low-impact attack may also indicate that the attacker is probing or scanning the network for potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses7.

The host is not necessarily outside the administrator's environment. A low-impact attack can target any host on the network, regardless of its location or ownership. A low-impact attack does not imply that the host is external or irrelevant to the administrator's environment.

Ah, the classic 'more memory' solution. It's like the IT version of 'have you tried turning it off and on again?'. Gotta love those easy fixes, am I right?

User 1: Yeah, it's always the go-to solution, just add more memory.

Option C? Really? Who needs more memory these days? My grandma's fridge has more storage than these Cisco FTD devices. Might as well just get some new toasters while you're at it.

I'm leaning towards Option B. Manually updating the SI event entries doesn't sound too difficult, and it might be a quicker fix than redeploying the configs. But hey, whatever works, right?

User 1: I think Option B could work, updating the entries manually seems like a straightforward solution.

I don't think restarting will help. We should redeploy configurations to allocate more memory to the SI module.

I agree with Hildred. Manually updating the SI event entries could be a pain, and replacing the devices might be overkill. Redeploying the configs is the most efficient solution here.

I agree with Sabra. Restarting the devices might solve the issue.

Option D seems like the way to go. Redeploying configurations to allocate more memory to the SI module should fix the issue without having to restart or replace the devices.
