Why each option
Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Next-Generation IPS (NGIPS) primarily inspects specific files and file types for malware, providing continuous analysis and retrospective security.
Authorizing potentially compromised wireless traffic is not a primary function of AMP for NGIPS; AMP focuses on malware detection in files and traffic, not authorization.
Cisco AMP is specifically designed to detect, block, and analyze malware, which involves inspecting specific files and file types for malicious content. It offers advanced threat protection by continuously monitoring files for suspicious behavior even after they have entered the network.
Authenticating end users is typically handled by identity and access management systems (e.g., AAA, Cisco ISE), not by Cisco AMP for NGIPS.
URL filtering is a function of firewalls or dedicated web security appliances, not the core function of Cisco AMP for NGIPS, although an IPS might integrate with such features.
