Cisco 300-720 Exam - Topic 10 Question 95 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-720 exam

Question #: 95
Topic #: 10

A trusted partner of an organization recently experienced a new campaign that was leveraging JavaScript attachments to trick users into executing malware. As a result, they created a local policy to deny messages with JavaScript attachments. Which action should the administrator of the organization take to ensure encrypted communications are delivered to the intended partner recipient?

AInsert the X-PostX-Use-Script' header with a value of false to the encrypted messages

BSelect JavaScript-free' option within the Cisco Secure Email Encryption Service Add-in

CCreate an outgoing content filter and add the Encrypt and Deliver Nov/ action with Use-Script option deselected

DCreate a new encryption profile and deselect the 'Use-Script' envelope settings option.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

According to theUser Guide for Cisco Secure Email Encryption Service Add-In 1, the 'Use-Script' option allows you to use JavaScript in the encrypted message envelope. This option is enabled by default, but you can disable it if you want to send encrypted messages to recipients who have security policies that block JavaScript attachments[2, p. 14].

The other options are not valid because:

A)Inserting the X-PostX-Use-Script header with a value of false to the encrypted messages is not a supported feature of the Cisco Secure Email Encryption Service Add-in1.

B) Selecting JavaScript-free option within the Cisco Secure Email Encryption Service Add-in is not a valid option.The add-in does not have such an option1.

C) Creating an outgoing content filter and adding the Encrypt and Deliver Nov/ action with Use-Script option deselected is not possible. The Encrypt and Deliver Nov/ action does not have a Use-Script option[2, p. 13].

Wait, are people really still using JavaScript attachments? That's wild!

A header change won't cut it. We need stronger measures!

D is the way to go! Deselecting 'Use-Script' is crucial.

I think option B is the best choice here. No JavaScript means safer emails.

I believe option D is the right approach since it talks about creating a new encryption profile. We practiced something like that, but I need to double-check the settings.

I'm a bit confused about the headers. I feel like option A could be relevant, but I don't remember if that header is actually used for encryption.

I think we had a similar question about email encryption and filtering. Option C sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it specifically mentioned the 'Use-Script' setting.

I remember we discussed the importance of avoiding JavaScript in emails during our last practice session. It makes me lean towards option B, but I'm not entirely sure.

This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with the Cisco Secure Email Encryption Service, so I'm not sure which option would work best. I'm leaning towards option B, since it specifically mentions a 'JavaScript-free' option, but I'll need to double-check the details on that.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is that we need to find a way to encrypt the messages without using JavaScript, since that's been blocked. Option D, creating a new encryption profile and deselecting the 'Use-Script' envelope settings, seems like the most direct solution to me.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this one. The question is asking about how to ensure encrypted communications are delivered, but it's not clear to me why the JavaScript attachment policy would impact that. I'll need to think through the different options carefully to understand the best approach.

This question seems straightforward - we need to find a way to deliver encrypted communications to the partner without using JavaScript attachments. I think option C looks like the best approach, creating an outgoing content filter to encrypt and deliver the messages without the 'Use-Script' option.

Okay, let's see. First, I'll need to find the process ID of the service running on port 389. Then I'll need to store the names of all the open files in that directory. And finally, I'll need to delete the binary. Sounds straightforward enough.

Haha, can you imagine if the administrator just starts randomly inserting headers? That's a surefire way to create more problems. I'd stick with option D, keep it simple.
